...LAST CLIENT...
...short, Morris wants to be known as brilliant and true blue, not brilliant and double-crossing. It's the ultimate spin and, for Morris, the ultimate professional challenge: himself as a client.

As a pro, White House colleagues say, Morris should know that his reputation can be scrubbed only by a Clinton victory. He's the next political millionaire: Carville '96.

McDougal cooperative streak is manifesting itself as his Monday sentencing approaches. His convictions could put him in jail for 84 years or make him $4.5 million poorer; on May 28th, McDougal was found guilty...
