...four legs at once, his tail thrashing, his body performing twists like a high-diver's - an astonishing sight, a mid-air electricity of vibrating honey-colored fur. When he comes to earth, he trombones his neck and howls out a conversational WOOO-WOOOO-WOOOO! There is no cynical quid pro quo food reward in prospect. He feels elated that I am back. I would be more flattered by this if gregarious Fred - the perfect host, the perfect guest, the dog at ease in any situation - did not stage the same welcome for virtually everyone...

...wife has donated an estimated $1 million to Democratic causes, including $70,000 to Hillary Clinton's successful Senate campaign and $450,000 to the Clinton presidential library fund.

...Hillary simply wouldn't do something that tacky. Now that the President and First Lady have filed their annual financial-disclosure report, we have proof they would. Amid the DVD player and chandelier were $22,000 in china and $18,000 in silverware. Only one gift looks like a quid pro quo: furniture valued at $7,375 from Denise Rich, the ex-wife of Marc Rich, the fugitive tycoon pardoned last week...
