...rest of the game would be all blue--Wildcat blue, that is. The twin-sister tandem of Marcie and Meaghan Lane destroyed the Harvard defense, driving hard to the bucket when coverage was tight and hitting the jumper when coverage was loose, and the other Wildcats followed their lead.

Then there was an incident in which McDougal in effect swapped 20 Whitewater building lots, almost half the project's total, for little more than a twin- engine Piper Seminole airplane that was later sold for a loss of $13,000. That loss was absorbed by Madison Guaranty's depositors, but federal taxpayers eventually had to pick up the tab through the RTC. Another intriguing factor is that the plane was at one point owned by Seth Ward, the father-in-law of Webster Hubbell, then a law partner of Hillary's and now Reno's top deputy...

Curriculum changes like these -- which really amount to a rethinking of what is required to be an informed citizen -- have become commonplace since the twin phenomena of political correctness and prescribed multiculturalism emerged into national consciousness at the end of the '80s. Like much else in American culture, the changes have been most visible first in California, the place where the face of the nation is changing most rapidly.
