...clear here. Though I believe the lack of council involvement in politics reveals the uglier flaw of the institution (its lack of power), I believe the council still works best when it works without politics. We had no more power when we were political than we do now. Back then we just used to divert everyone's attention from that fact by inflaming people on either side of a controversial issue whose national or international outcome we had no ability to affect...

The First Lady kicked off a four-state tour to boost Democratic candidates Wednesday by jumping into the only political battle that's actually uglier than her husband's: Rep. Charles Schumer's bid to unseat New York senator Al D'Amato. And although she's ditched the Tammy Wynette impression for that of sharp-tongued politico (she lacerated D'Amato for "voting to keep women down and back") TIME White House correspondent Karen Tumulty says she's helping her Bill more this...
