...both the stage and film versions, is not exactly a moviemaker, and Baitz has cushioned Isaac's fall with a final reconciliation. But Baitz has also expanded his play to give Isaac room to parade his obsessions. A familiar tragedy is made potent by the value of the gift withdrawn: Isaac, whose life is his mind, is losing it. Rifkin sees the majesty in Isaac's madness; he soars as he declines. In an era when films reduce the aged to comic cranks, Rifkin is heroic--the Lear of grumpy...
Schoen and Morris met privately with the President for the first time in February 1995. "I found him somewhat withdrawn," recalls Schoen. "There was a sense that the air had been taken out of him." Clinton asked for Schoen's analysis of the situation. "I remember you from our Arkansas work," Schoen told him. "Our polling then showed you as a middle-of-the-road Democrat.

An overdose of Redux makes the neurons that produce serotonin swell, then...
...employees love best. In just six months, Gates has refocused the work force onto Net-related projects, mercilessly eliminated a dozen others that were Holy Grails a year ago, and geared up an Internet-content group that will spend tens of millions of dollars this year. He has even withdrawn $1.5 billion in R.-and-D. money from a $6 billion cash stockpile Microsoft has tucked away against the sort of rainy business days they aren't used to seeing in Redmond...
