Clinton's Top Fund-Raiser Made a Pile for Himself, Too By JEFF GERTH WASHINGTON -- On a sweltering June evening this year President Clinton headlined yet another Democratic Party fund-raiser, but this time the guest of honor was Terry McAuliffe, Mr. Clinton's closest and most loyal Washington friend as well as his tireless money man. Shedding his prepared remarks, the president said, "I love this guy." White House Clinton and Terry McAuliffe at a White House event during the height of the Lewinsky matter. It is easy to understand why. The ebullient McAuliffe says he and his staff have raised about ...

It was the end of a wide-ranging, year-end news conference, and Bill Clinton was suddenly at a loss for words. It was a surreal moment. The master showman knocked back on his heels, boxed in by a question that he clearly did not anticipate. It wasn't a question about impeachment or Monica Lewinsky, but about race, usually a Clinton strong suit. The question: Why, after all his talk about diversity and inclusion, had he surrounded himself with decision-makers who were mostly white men? Clinton's record on race, and the sincerity and passion with which he talks about the issue, have ...

The buck stops here, Hillary HILLARY'S CHOICE by Gail Sheehy Simon & Schuster £17.99 pp480 JOAN SMITH When Bill Clinton was running for president for the first time in 1992, his wife Hillary decided to find out how many women might talk to journalists about their affairs with her husband. The answer was 19, most of whom were being pursued by American tabloids. Desperate to fend off further "bimbo eruptions", the Clinton campaign enlisted the help of a San Franscisco private eye, Jack Palladino, with whom Hillary had worked many years before. Palladino's job was to persuade the women to ...

Keyes addresses the moral crisis in America directly and succinctly. "What moral crisis?" asked George and Cokie (paraphrase).

Ever since she declared her candidacy for Senate, and even before then, Hillary Clinton's true colours have been flying. Some of the policies she advocates are exactly the opposite of her husband's, we learn, but in one respect, they represent typical liberal boilerplate. Just recently, inasmuch as Christmas is upon us, the First Lady announced that Baby Jesus was "homeless." Born in a manger with no crib for his bed, Miss Hillary opined, our Savior was rather akin to a modern waif wandering about the streets and sleeping in a subway station. Why, you ask, would the First Lady ...

LOCKED in a steel six-foot by nine-foot cage, Chuck Schwarz prays to see the open sky. He is allowed out of his cell for one hour a day to walk alone in a small corridor on the ninth-floor of the Metropolitan Correctional Center in downtown Manhattan. Once a week for 60 minutes -- just 60 minutes -- he is taken out of solitary to the roof where he gazes almost deliriously at the open sky. "But if it rains he doesn't get to go up there," his lawyer Ronald Fischetti said. "I don't care if it takes the rest of ...

Justin Volpe willstate that Officer Thomas Wiese -- and not Charles Schwarz -- was in the 70th Precinct bathroom with him when he sodomized Louima three years ago, Probation Department records show.

(article follows) In a dramatic courtroom plea, Justin Volpe tomorrow will publicly say the feds convicted the wrong man as his accomplice in the Abner Louima attack -- and he'll name another cop as his lookout.

MOSCOW -- On Wednesday night the Russian Army took the town of Urus Martan, clearing the last major obstacle on the southwestern approaches to the Chechen capital, Grozny. It was just outside Urus Martan on the road to Grozny, which is 18 km away, that I got one of the frights of my life during the first Russian-Chechen war five winters ago. I was driving in a Lada with a Swedish journalist, his girlfriend/interpreter and an Ingush driver when a pair of helicopters bristling with missiles and cannon suddenly jumped over the horizon in front of us and bore ...

As Americans ponder the sweeping changes a new century will bring, they also will be asked to choose a new leader. Bill Bradley - one-time professional basketball star, three-term U.S. Senator, author - is best prepared for the job. Through a lifetime of accomplishment and on the campaign trail this year, Bradley has distinguished himself from the pack on critical issues and qualities of leadership. Why a presidential endorsement 11 months before the election? Two reasons: A campaign that began earlier than ever and a field that may be narrowed to two main contenders in caucuses and major primaries ...

A bombshell report charges the Board of Education with widespread criminal abuses -- including padding class rosters with the names of dead kids to scam millions of dollars in aid from taxpayers. Doctored records -- a violation of state and federal criminal laws -- were uncovered system-wide by the Moreland Act Commission in its nearly yearlong probe of the city school system, said sources who disclosed details of the report expected later this week. "This was like shooting fish in a barrel," one investigator told The Post. "Almost everywhere we looked, in all five boroughs, we found something." A ...
