>>Like Clinton, "the prospect of resignation hasn't even crossed my mind. >>> Bill, Narcisistic Clinton may be a wrong example IMO..He is not in denial...He firmly believes that He is a Brilliant leader to whom the nation owe its prosperity and thus it is imperative for him to play a Martyr even to get impeached... He think that if that were to happen than his personal stature and income (books, deals) were to soar...That history would look at him as martyr and so on....Where he is in denial is that he is an unimportant footnote that happened to preside over economic expansion created by end of the cold war...Where America is lucky that we did not have to confrunt a cataclismic event that new world order is ripe for..myriads of unforseen events related to Russian collapse come to mind...while the opportunist like Clinton with no weight is in office..

Earlier Euro Cash Debut Urged Sunday, 10 January 1999 M U N I C H , G E R M A N Y (AP) ENCOURAGED BY the smooth debut of the European common currency on financial markets, some politicians and economists are pushing for a early launch of euro bills and coins. Helmut Hausmann, the leading Free Democratic Party candidate for EU parliament elections in June, wants euro cash to become available Jan. 1, 2001, one year earlier than planned, Focus newsmagazine reported Sunday. Making people wait too long to have euros and cents in their hands and wallets could create widespread disappointment, Hausmann said. The euro launched Jan. 1 in 11 European countries. While euro currency will not be in consumers' pockets until 2002, it now can be used for credit card or traveler's check purchases. Many major firms are converting their transactions to euros, as well. Michael Fuchs, president of a German wholesalers and retailers association, agreed with Hausmann. Planning the launch in 2002 is "already an unfriendly act," Focus quoted him as saying. Nobert Walter, chief economist for Deutsche Bank, also is calling for a swifter cash debut, as is Ulrich Hombrecker, an economist with WestLB. Both say the 11 euro nations do not need three years to prepare for bills and coins, the Munich-based magazine reported. "One year is enough," Hombrecker said.
