re: the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal. Once the scandal broke, Bill held a press conference and apologized to the people simply and sincerely.

You mean the press conference where he looked right into the camera, pointed his finger at it, and said "I did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky"? Or do you mean after the scandal had been brewing for months, the grand jury testimony was all in, and it was finally clear that he couldn't get away with denying it any longer? It would appear we have different definitions of when that particular scandal "broke" . . .

If Clinton had followed Teresa's advice above and done the "simple and sincere" apology thing the first time, I agree that the impeachment probably never would have happened, and the country would have been a lot better off. Unfortunately, he didn't.

Since he passed away in January of this year after a long illness, I'm guessing that we'll never see the conclusion to Robert Anton Wilson's Historical Illuminatus Chronicles. They weren't as psychedlic and over the top as his other work, and anchored the conspiracy theatrics to a solid historical fiction base (at least at first). Supposedly five books were planned, and the fourth got at least as far as being titled, but only three were ever published, the last in 1991

Not only that, but a Smootie comes in a five-foot-seven-inch glass.

Just so that you can be sure that someone did get it, cute M.I.T. reference . . .
