...Patrick redoubled his fund-raising efforts to meet a possible 2002 challenge from term-limited G.O.P. Governor Lincoln Almond, the family pitched in. Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. were hosts for a concert at Manhattan's Russian Tea Room that hauled in $100,000. A clambake at the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port cleared $75,000. In March, Patrick made a surprise appearance onstage at the Providence Newspaper Guild Follies. Dressed in a sailor suit, he sang a rewrite of the Gilligan's Island theme.

The President treated his first encounter with Putin as a kind of reprise of the first Reagan-Gorbachev summit, telling Americans he had looked into the Russian leader's eyes and "got a pretty good idea of his soul." The comment prompted titters across Europe, not least because Putin came through the ranks of the KGB, an organization that doesn't exactly reward transparency.
