...budgets and one impeachment, Clinton commands, even from his detractors, a grudging respect. In the past few weeks, the Vice President's reluctance to use this rich resource has risen to a public drama. But Hillary's embrace of her husband down the stretch may put her in the record books: the first First Lady to abdicate the White House to win a Senate seat from a state she had previously only visited as a tourist. Meanwhile, Gore, who won't share a stage with Clinton, finds himself in a dead heat for an office he should take...
...there because it was Hillary's turn now. Instead of retreating to her singsong speech, Hillary picked up her husband's rollicking riffs, asking of her opponent, Rick Lazio, when he says "Eight years is enough," "Where is he living and who is he representing?" She embraces the record Gore can't even bring himself to acknowledge.

But Cramer is an all-star reporter, and if his fertile prose at times sprouts too many colloquial tendrils and exclamatory blossoms, it soon gives way to the sheer muscle of his facts. Oddly, the book's weakest part...
...about. They're quite strong subjects sung in a strong way, so I can see comparisons there. And obviously Patti has lived in New York, so there's this New York thing now too. But she wasn't someone I was trying to emulate in any way on this record." Indeed, Smith, with the exception of a few brilliant songs, has clung mostly to her cult. PJ Harvey is ready for a wider embrace...
