<p>Controversy develops over Reagan funeral speakers...</p> <p>'President Clinton really held out all hope the funeral would be a nonpartisan event, like Nixon's was,' a top Clinton source said on Tuesday morning.

Pentagon possesses three disks of photos, one of which includes some brief video clips. Many of the photos are redundant, and some have little to do with Iraqi detainees but show sex between U.S. soldiers... Pentagon officials prevailed at least temporarily in their insistence that the administration not immediately release the images, which include the forced masturbation of a detainee...

After the news of Britney Spears's 55-hour marriage to her childhood friend Jason Allen Alexander, I got an e-mail from one of my many homosexual correspondents (you'd be surprised), one with whom I had previously had some friendly exchanges about same-sex marriage. The gist of it was: "This is the institution you are trying to save?" I take his point. I don't say I feel any better-disposed towards homosexual marriage than I was pre-Britney, but there is no denying the guy has a debating point. If a couple of likkered-up glitterati airheads can stumble into a wedding chapel, tie the...

An editor working on ex-President Bill Clinton's memoirs has raised questions about the veracity of his account after reading the book's first draft. "Did you make half of that stuff up?" the editor asked, according to Clinton's own admission during a ceremony at his Little Rock presidential library on Friday. In little-noticed comments covered by the Associated Press, the ex-president revealed the unnamed editor's skepticism, saying, "When I first showed my editor the drafts of my memoirs, he said, 'Boy you've got a lot in here about Arkansas.' "And I said, 'Well read it before you cut it out.'" Then...

It has taken two weeks, 402 fine-tip markers and a college student with a bad case of writer's cramp to sign the names of more than 5,000 donors onto the white beam. Armed with a new Sharpie and surrounded by workers building the multimillion-dollar presidential library that the beam is a part of, Bill Clinton made the marker count 403. More than 3,000 people cheered Friday as the former president signed his name to the beam that completes the skeleton of his presidential library in Little Rock. The Starship rock song "We Built This City" played from a speaker...

BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. (AP) _ Police are blaming a road rage crash on that left a passenger dead and three children without a father on "two stubborn people" who wouldn't back down. Now both drivers face possible criminal charges. Mark Raymond Bair, 29, of Brooklyn Park, was released from jail Tuesday pending a formal complaint. The other driver, Beth Ann Rademacher, 24, of Champlin, was being treated at North Memorial Medical Center for her injuries. Precisely what sparked the deadly confrontation on Sunday afternoon is still a matter of investigation, but Bair told police that Rademacher had cut him off,...

The charges were held for court after Schultz waived a preliminary hearing earlier this...

WASHINGTON – Bill Clinton, America’s only elected president ever impeached, will not get away with rewriting the history of his legacy. In the fall of 2003, a Counter Clinton Library is scheduled to open in Little Rock, Ark., to set the record straight. Furthermore, it will be located just a short walk from the official Clinton Library that will spin the legacy, as presented by Bill and Hillary Clinton. The Counter Clinton Library is set to open about six months ahead of the sanitized Clinton version. John LeBoutillier, former congressman and current NewsMax pundit, is a co-founder of the project,...

Flatly contradicting Time magazine's claims this week that his administration turned over workable plans to capture or kill Osama bin Laden to the Bush White House, ex-President Clinton confessed earlier this year that his administration's plans had a "high probability" of failure. Clinton's made the stunning admission during a February address to a New York business group, which, apparently, Time declined to cover. But NewsMax.com was there. As our exclusive audiotape of the Clinton speech makes clear, the ex-president decided not to implement his own administration's plans to attack al-Qaeda before 9-11 - not because of the impending presidential election...

Clinton Cries Poor He may be raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees and wallowing in his multi-million dollar book deal, but America's only full-time professional ex-president is short of cash. As the New York Post's lively Page Six reports, Bill Clinton who charges upward of $250,000 per speech, is crying poverty. It appears that he tried to pick up some art works "on the cheap, claiming he's short on cash," the Post reported. As the Post explained, a Manhattan art collector got a call last week from an unnamed dealer who wanted to buy certain paintings...

The former president and current New York senator proved it Saturday when they stopped at the Pots & Plants nursery on Bee Cave Road and bought two pairs of the famed plastic flock that decorates the nursery's hillside along the Loop 360 access road. "I think he was just intrigued with them because he saw them before," said nursery owner Pat Swanson, recalling a time a few years back when Bill Clinton drove by Pots & Plants with his Austin friend Roy Spence, the GSD&M advertising chief and longtime Democratic fund-raiser. Another of the former president's famous Austin friends, former...
