...matters personal, a Rudy-vs.-Hillary race would be heavily influenced by the principle of Mutual Assured Destruction. On Monica, Rudy says, "I'll never mention it." The mayor's marriage is almost as mysterious as Hillary's. In 1996 his wife of 12 years, TV journalist Donna Hanover, reverted to her professional name and virtually stopped appearing publicly with her husband. In a 1997 interview, she wouldn't say whether she voted for him. So rarely are they seen together that a sighting makes headlines, as it did last May when they danced at a wedding at Gracie Mansion...

But when the results came in, they showed 60% of voters saying campaign-finance reform was important, vs. just 15% saying it wasn't. "Voters want the system changed," says John Weaver, McCain's political director...
...both sides. Kasparov and many of his opponents will be consulting vast databases of past games and plotting computer-assisted strategies, a practice as common in chess now as using calculators to do long division. What's new here is the vast scale. In the long run, Kasparov vs. the World may tell us more about chess and human thought processes than Deep Blue ever could. "The result is irrelevant," says Kasparov, himself a part-time computer scientist and Internet addict. "It's a big experiment...
