...interesting thing about running into Reich is the first you behold an incredibly short, mature adult and then you notice that the incredibly short adult is Robert Reich, one of the most powerful people in the executive branch. Searching desperately for a provocative, newsworthy question to ask him, my mind goes blank. Before I can pull myself together, two HRTV people whisk him away to do an interview.

...stronger handler--plus four personal secretaries--on the plane with Dole, just the way Nixon used to travel. Reed asked Margaret Tutwiler, a longtime top aide to former Secretary of State James Baker, to take over the fuselage team. "If Margaret Tutwiler is supposed to be the adult supervisor on the plane," said a top Dole aide, "she'd better bring a parachute with her and wear it at all times...
