...trap of trying to prove a negative. The problem is that Bush went about his nondisclosure selectively. In a political age when biography is destiny, Bush has not exactly clammed up on personal matters, detailing over time his history as a drinker, his religious conversion, his fidelity to his wife Laura. It amounts to saying that when it comes to electing a President, it is relevant whether he ever committed adultery but not whether he ever committed a felony...

Even if ramidus didn't walk upright, however, another of the recently discovered human ancestors certainly did. Less than a year after A. ramidus made headlines, a team led by Meave Leakey of the National Museums of Kenya (wife of well-known fossil hunter Richard Leakey) and Alan Walker of Pennsylvania State University revealed that it too had found fossils of an ancient human ancestor at two sites near Lake Turkana, in Kenya. Not only is the new hominid very old, dating to 4.2 million years B.P., but it is similar in some ways to A. afarensis--though clearly more...

Many of the those who opposed President Clinton in his impeachment hearings seemed to want to come off as choirboys. So it is only fitting that one of his most ardent adversaries has found himself a choirgirl. Unfortunately, she's not his wife. Rumors have been flying that former Speaker of the House NEWT GINGRICH, 56, was involved with CALLISTA BISEK, 33, a staff member on the House Agriculture Committee and singer in a church choir, well before he filed for divorce from his second wife Marianne. (His first wife was his geometry teacher.) Now Marianne's lawyers have been...

...Hello! Are you there? Hello!" especially when I know good and well that they lost their connection five minutes ago, only they haven't shut up long enough to notice. I also find it mortifying when I'm trapped next to some cell guy who's talking to his wife or his girlfriend about intimate matters--just him, his significant other and me.
