Forbes' wooing of religious conservatives is, above all, a reaction to the failure of his last campaign. After an early spurt in last year's Republican primaries, Forbes was forced out of the race in part because he was indifferent to the party's powerful Christian Coalition wing. At one point, remembered by campaign chairman Malcolm Wallop as "that big catastrophe in Iowa," Forbes took off after the organization for falsely painting him as pro-abortion rights. "The Christian Coalition does not speak for most Christians," he said...
White House staff members say that after a two-year, self-imposed exile from the West Wing, Hillary is putting in an occasional appearance there again, expressing her views on everything from race relations to an initiative grandly titled the Millennium Program, a series of events designed to celebrate the new millennium. The First Lady insists that there was no retreat and no comeback--and that her generation's ambivalence about her role has not changed her in the least. "I continue to do what I want to do and what I consider important," she told TIME. "These questions...
While some of Forbes' rhetoric has changed, his views still make him unacceptable as the standard-bearer for that wing of the party.

Nevertheless, saying that something is second-rate for Jimi Hendrix still means it can be very good. A few of these tracks rank among Hendrix's most remarkable recordings, while others--"Little Wing," "All Along the Watchtower," and "Sweet Angel" --are different versions of his best songs. Guitar-playing Hendrix disciples will also not be disappointed by the wealth of blistering fretwork this album offers, particularly because nearly half of its tracks are instrumentals...
...curious instrumental version of the classic Hendrix balled "Little Wing" follows. An early demo with only guitar and drums, its heavy, muscular feel is very different from the delicate beauty of the final version. Many will be hard-pressed to recognize it as "Little Wing" --it seems more like Hendrix's "Angel," an early demo of which is also included on this collection. This "Angel" is much closer in feel to the almost final version available on First Rays, but is marred by the sound of the primitive drum machine Hendrix was using to keep time...
