| Victories for Clinton and McCain reshape race
The Clintons have been under unparalled scrutiny since President Clinton had the audicity to win his election over Bush Sr. I make my own choices, and find Senator Obama rather conservative in his proposals: to me this does not constitute change from the trend in this administration.

Mr. Brown's income from all four books, including "The Da Vinci Code" and revenue from the film, has made him a rich man. Forbes magazine estimated Mr. Brown earned $88 million between June 2005 and June 2006, minus management, agent and attorney fees. Dan Burstein, editor of the best-seller "Secrets of the Code: The Unauthorized Guide to the Mysteries Behind The Da Vinci Code," thinks Mr. Brown may have earned as much as $250 million to $300 million from all related properties. Many writers have struggled.
