...wave of attention through early March, and maybe sneak away with a win. But critics argue that the shortened season actually deprives upstart campaigns of the chance to build momentum. In years past, a handful of candidates parlayed surprise showings in the early primaries into a sustained accumulation of press coverage, allowing them to build war chests that rivaled the front-runners'. But now there's little time to accumulate contributions once February rolls around. So even though John McCain, for example, scored an impressive win in New Hampshire, he stands a good chance of getting spent into defeat...
...thing Bradley has always been is outwardly low key, and he's sticking to that. During a strategy session on Dec. 31 at the New Jersey apartment of campaign manager Gina Glantz, the inner circle--including Glantz, campaign chairman Doug Berman, communications director Anita Dunn and press secretary Eric Hauser--was munching bagels and finalizing the all-important January strategy.

This helped fend off thoughts about her as a carpetbagger in need of a new zip code, or worse, as the first First Lady to abdicate. For the moment, the Clintons diverted attention...

It's now rote to knock TV and real-life families as morally bankrupt, and when shown to the press last year, the pilot was wrongly lumped with the fall's genuine network sleaze for its mild (and funny) scenes of parental nudity. But Malcolm is a testament to the virtues of an imperfect home; Malcolm's fratricidal sibs and daft folks keep him grounded as he adjusts to life...
...consensual. When BOB BENNETT first mentions MONICA LEWINSKY, Clinton adamantly denies a relationship with her. "Bob, do you think I'm f______ crazy?" asks an indignant Clinton. And as he began feeling increasingly persecuted, Clinton kept what he called a Richard Jewell file, containing all the negative press clips about himself...
