...White House aide. "The better the public feels about the system, the better it is for incumbents like him." By the same logic, if Clinton fails to identify himself soon with successful campaign reform, Gore could be tainted by association even if he doesn't have more sins to confess from '96. Three years from now, that could force him into one of the trickiest political maneuvers since 1968, when Vice President Hubert Humphrey, aiming for the presidency, tried to distance himself from the Vietnam War policies of his own Administration. If Humphrey were still around he would tell...

Price, who witnesses placed at the stabbing scene, was charged with having incited a black crowd "to get Jews." While Nelson reacted to the verdict with tears and Price with stony silence...
Fortunately, they freely confess to fallibility. Indeed, such is their concern over being misperceived as color mafiosi that at conference end, a dozen CMG officers gathered in the press suite to downplay their own significance to the assembled media. That the assembled media consisted of a local reporter, a trade journalist and myself proved no deterrent to their earnest onslaught. CMG only forecasts, insisted our briefers; it doesn't dictate; the consumer is the ultimate arbiter...
