...Mills rather than return for the President's statement. Last month Lindsey didn't even show up to fill his customary seat next to Clinton at the President's annual Super Bowl party at Camp David.

...relatively obscure trade lawyer, he now goes after anyone he thinks might know something, anything about the skulduggeries he feels sure the White House is behind. Making the most of the rules of pretrial discovery, Klayman has subpoenaed such past and present Clinton insiders as George Stephanopoulos and Paul Begala--as well as such bewildered small fry as Begala's assistant--subjecting them to protracted depositions at which his questions are, to say the least, wide-ranging.

But Gramm will need more than a simple instinct for the jugular to win in 1996. Though he has rejected any attempts to soften his image in the past, his latest round of speeches include inspirational stories...
