...Series, Marion Jones was going to win five gold medals and Tommy Lee was going to win Pamela Anderson's heart back. No, no, no and no. Even when it seemed like something happened this year, it didn't. Elian looked at Disney World and went back home. We kept our Miranda rights. Those missing top-secret computer hard drives at Los Alamos were behind the copy machine. Nobody, it turned out, married a multi-millionaire...
...forgo the race. The enthusiastic Rick Lazio from Long Island got whomped by Hillary, 56% to 44. At the Democratic convention in Los Angeles in August, the Clintons were a team (right).

He made no statements about important issues. He sat on no commissions. He went straight on with his work, even though the world begged him to change from being a commentator for a minor constituency in the 1950s to a national observer who had a great deal to say to the world at large. He wanted to be no different than anyone...
