...Marc Rich's lawyer, Jack Quinn, delivers a phone book-size pardon petition for Rich and his partner, Pincus Green, to White House counsel Beth Nolan. The petition includes more than 20 letters of support, including one from the mayor of Jerusalem and another from the maestro of the Israeli Philharmonic. (Rich's foundations have contributed some $200 million to Israeli and Jewish causes.) Nolan does not forward the petition to the Justice Department...
...song was a runaway hit in Britain last spring, and from there Gray rode a wave of trans-Continental buzz. He is part of a generation of gifted young singer-songwriters-it also includes such acts as Elliott Smith, Badly Drawn Boy and Beth Orton-who have thrived by providing an alternative to the numbing, bubble-gum conformity of pop, and the hard, forbidding edge of rap and metal.

...politics. According to the Jan. 10 e-mail, Clinton supposedly told Dozoretz (she denies it) that "he wants to do it, and is doing all possible to turn around the White House counsels." Clinton should have seen the furor coming. Not only did he fail to persuade counsel Beth Nolan that the pardon was appropriate, sources say, but his most trusted aide, Whitewater warhorse Bruce Lindsey, opposed...
