...reflexive response was to blame others, rail against enemies and stonewall, unless called before a grand jury, at which point she would be overcome by short- and long-term memory loss. It wasn't until the President found himself under siege that her popularity took off. By the end of impeachment, she realized that, Sally Field-like, people really liked her, so she decided...
...interference. "The Bush people seemed constantly concerned that Gore was going to move," someone involved in the talks said later. "They seemed spooked by Gore's size." At one point, the two sides discussed a warning light that would fire if one candidate violated another's space.

New eras of warm cooperation have a way of dissolving into cold, familiar warfare, and even good intentions and fond hopes can't always prevent...
...poetic end to Florida's vote crisis would bring the weirdness full circle, to another of our recent turns in the world spotlight. Don't be shocked if the entire presidential election shakes down to a single vote--an overseas ballot from Havana, bearing the childlike signature of one E. Gonzalez...
