...infection. By week's end more than 25,000 pigs, sheep and cattle had been burned in Britain. The French, in particular, took no chances. "Livestock ranchers who went through earlier epidemics are now saying they'll never make it through another one if it spreads to France," says Marc-Henri Cassagne, director general of the National Federation of Sanitary Protection Groups. "Foot-and-mouth is an old enemy we know only too well...
...neutered himself. By last week Clinton's near silence on why he pardoned fugitive tax swindler Marc Rich and assorted other highflyers and lowlifes was getting a little spooky. It was time to tap on the lid of the trunk and see if Houdini was still alive in there. Now he got help from the Old Guard, the magician's assistants who had stuck by him through thick and thin and thick. Here came faithful fund raiser Beth Dozoretz, who we learn was cleared by the Secret Service to visit the White House 76 times in the past two years...
Democrats might find some solace in the Cox pardon because of similarities to the recent Clinton binge. Bush granted it in his final few days.

Congressional investigators subpoenaed another Clinton fund raiser, Beth Dozoretz, to tell all she knows...
This is how one begins to see Clinton, and how history may see him as well--in his wide-brimmed hat and million-dollar zoot suit, and a smile for everyone. After the heist of the White House gifts, after the shady pardon of Marc Rich and the latest brother-act pardons of the Clinton Going-Out-of-Business sale--long after Monica--he emerges on 125th Street, larger even than himself. He is the fallen preacher, the three-card-monte dealer, and the best of all time. And he is going to bless and disappoint and fool us again...
