...coach to send him into the big game. Twice while taking the oath of office, he nearly stepped on Chief Justice William Rehnquist's lines. Meanwhile, George Bush, who was married before Clinton was born, wore an understandably defeated look. He stared at Clinton with the naked anguish of a father whose teenage boy had just beaten him at arm wrestling for the first time...

But her death is added anguish in the President's season of political rejection, a burden few men have known. His steady goodwill in handing the White House over to Bill Clinton is a measure of a mother's implanted strength and a final tribute from...
