...first sign of orchestration came in a note that Mack McLarty, then White House chief of staff, jotted shortly after Hubbell resigned in March. He underlined the word base and the names of three big Democratic donors. Next he wrote "consulting arrangements" and listed Clinton's most trusted advisers--superlawyer Vernon Jordan and then U.S. Trade Representative Mickey Kantor--"to help." As in any good circumstantial case, McLarty's scrawl can be linked at least coincidentally to a result. Within weeks, Hubbell landed $100,000 in consulting work from Ron Perelman's Revlon as well as from Texas businessmen Bernard...
...restorations. In London an ambitious series called Discover the Lost Musicals has flourished since 1988. The same year, Daykin produced concert versions of two Gershwin musicals, as well as an all-star tribute that featured a gnomic rendition of Soon by Bob Dylan. ("Did he hit even one right note?"

Nearly 3 million people have visited Gaskins' home page--as many as 30,000 a day. It takes him an hour just to wade through the 150 e-mail messages he gets each day from kids hoping for contact with the screen idol. (Note to the Leo-struck: Gaskins has never communicated with the star or his handlers.) I would find all this very draining, but Gaskins does it for free. Is he a sucker? "I had someone appraise my site," he says. "The domain name itself is worth more than $75,000." Hmmm, maybe...
