...first requirement for being a real person, of course, is to be something other than a student. Graduate school--including law school, medical school, business school or even one of those twelve-decade doctoral programs that make being a student into a career--doesn't cut it. Neither do any of those sought-after cures that lucky people use to kill the post-college blues, like "fellowships," "internships," two-year teaching programs, nine-month work programs in Botswana or backpacking trips that follow the trail of McDonald's across the continental United States (funded, of course, by a federal grant...

And they will probably shut it down in a couple of months anyway...
...that turned, with a bang of Trent Lott?s gavel, into a lose-lose. And although Newt Gingrich is suddenly making noises about antitobacco in the House, you can bet that whatever emerges from the Republican leadership will be carefully crafted to give Clinton neither money nor plaudits enough to sustain the appearance of second-term activism that Clinton so desperately wants. "All he?s got left is the China trip," says Branegan. It doesn?t get any more no-win than that...
