...reinforce pernicious racial stereotypes. Late last year the Democratic Leadership Council, the centrist group Clinton helped launch in 1985, urged the President to back up his race initiative with "the first coherent urban strategy since the Johnson Administration."

We will all miss him very much." Adding a bipartisan twist to the tribute, Congressman David Bonior (D-Mich.) echoed Stump's sentiments. "We are all saddened by his passing," said Bonior "We thank him for the memories...
