...Clintons are still mobile and on the make - he, in an inchoate, still-to-be-determined way - and have no idea where home is. They are still on an ascendant trajectory. That would seem an insult to the prestige and ne plus ultra of the American presidency, were it not for Hillary's unprecedented situation. Senator Clinton now embarks on her own big game safari, a post-presidential, pre-presidential journey, with Bill this time in the role of native bearer, or ornamental helpmate, or West Coast adjunct. And now there's a good chance she will have a Georgetown...
...insurance companies, employers and medical personnel (and the weird guy down the street who's always asking about your latest flu shot). The new safeguards, which President Clinton announced Wednesday, are the result of years of discussion - in Washington and among the nation's consumers - over the best way to keep private medical records private in an increasingly public-access world.

But there are more than 200 charges against Pinochet working their way through the legal system. So even as they rule on this, the courts are receiving more evidence relating to other cases...

...through Stalin's falsehoods. The West chose not to. Respected intellectuals from George Bernard Shaw to Lion Feuchtwanger returned from Moscow with soothing tales of Stalin justice in the workers' paradise. Thus the U.S.S.R. kept rolling along its road to hell. Now, Russia risks sliding the same way once again. Maybe it is too late for the exhausted and bewildered nation to halt the slide. Arresting Gusinsky is easier. But should Spain extradite Gusinsky to Moscow, the West might be making the same mistake it did in the 1930s...
