...fact, when it comes to life-at-large, I'm the equivalent of a premed dork, taking notes compulsively with a 20-color pen. I keep detailed diaries, never delete an e-mail, save all my notebooks, and keep movie ticket stubs from the last five years on file. Want to know what I ate for lunch on February 25, 1997? Or what I was up to at 7:20 p.m. on April 28, 1999? I've got it all. The challenge is to select the useful from the useless, the primary sources from the endless reading lists, the major...

Or perhaps "Understood the value of staring at the ceiling, and, when at the front of a long lunch line, often selected individual strands of spaghetti"? Or perhaps "Loved the following people..."?

But even that conversion may be in the works. In a speech last week, Dole took a playful jab at herself. "Some pundits say that I'm scripted," she said, "but according...
...K.L.A.'s armorer remains to be seen. The K.L.A., as U.S. officials are quick to point out, is not going to become a 1990s version of the contras, the U.S.-backed insurgent group that fought to overthrow a communist regime in Nicaragua in the 1980s. For starters, no one wants to use the K.L.A. to overthrow Slobodan Milosevic. And no one wants the war to go on long enough for the K.L.A. to assume contra-like proportions. Most important, however, NATO officials are worried that a well-armed and well-trained K.L.A. would veer into radicalism. K.L.A. officials such...
