One man's voyage to the future
Article Abstract:
Jim Clark came from a very humble background, but now has a fortune estimated at $3 billion. He is the only man in US history to have founded three billion-dollar companies: Silicon Graphics, Netscape and Healthion. He remained relatively unknown, but this is gradually changing since he came to the attention of journalist Michael Lewis, who is analyzing Silicon Valley through Clark's experiences. Clark does not feel that Lewis necessarily portrays him very flatteringly, but accepts that the picture Lewis presents is balanced and quite fair.

Seconds out: the First Lady is now in the ring
Article Abstract:
Hillary Rodham Clinton has decided to create an exploratory committee to look at running for a seat in the US Senate in 2000 to represent New York, NY. She has selected a campaign headquarters in Manhattan, and is looking for a home in nearby Westchester county. She is now embarking on a tour of the state, starting from the farm of Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, whom she aims to replace. She is unlikely to face any other Democratic opponents.
