...President who was mocked for blurring the distinction between Republican and Democrat and who was ridiculed for realizing a Republican platform--like tax cuts and reduced government--more effectively than the two Republican presidents who preceded him has articulated forcefully and, it seems, effectively, a plan for bringing this nation closer to its liberal ideals. In the President's own words: "We have moved past the sterile debate between those who say government is the enemy and those who say government is the answer. My fellow Americans, we have found a third way. We have the smallest government...
...Secretary of Defense William Cohen visited Mr. King's neighborhood and waffled with Larry about the Iraq staredown. It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood when the next visitor, Democratic National Committee head Roy Romer, said that the contribution business is better than ever.

Of all Clinton's straddles, maybe this was his greatest: to be seen as both family man and rogue, feminist sympathizer and Kennedyesque swordsman...
...once had the opportunity to ask Clinton adviser and political strategist James Carville whether it would be possible for a pro-life Democrat to be elected to the Presidency. He felt that it would never happen; I hope that someday someone proves him wrong. Alternatively, I hope that the Republican party turns towards the poor rather than to those who vociferously trumpet the need for change in the party...
