...have traded their office in Cambridge for one in DC. This hasn’t been the first time that Carter has worked for a presidential administration. More than a decade ago, Carter served as Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy for three years during the Clinton administration. As Assistant Secretary of Defense, he dealt with the possession of weapons of mass destruction in the United States and abroad. In particular, Carter worked toward the removal of nuclear weapons from parts of the former Soviet Union and managed military planning during the U.S.’s response...
DIED A stray cat adopted by Chelsea Clinton when her father was governor of Arkansas, Socks, approximately 19, became the nation's First Feline in 1993. He had been cared for by Betty Currie, Bill Clinton's secretary, since...

Bush's presidency was straitjacketed by his inability to command any style but clenched orotundity. The two great television-era communicators in the office were yin and yang: Bill Clinton was a master of the conversational, not so good at set-piece speeches; Ronald Reagan just the opposite. Barack Obama has now demonstrated an ability to synthesize those two. On the day before his budget speech, the President was positively Clintonesque, interacting easily with a gang of high-powered political...
