...White House has always been staffed by several dozen veterans who, independent of party politics, have long experience with the day-to-day operations of the presidency. The best stay on forever; the worst are moved out. Linda Tripp, apparently, was the latter, which could explain her transfer to the Pentagon in 1994, long before the current controversy...
...arrived for his first date with Connie Babin, he brought a single red rose. Connie and Mike had met at a Mardi Gras party in the French Quarter; a day or so later he called her up and asked her out to dinner.

An electric-power association believed the best way to inform members of Congress about utility rates was to send a dozen of them, with staff, floating through the Grand Canyon, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. Utah Senator Bob Bennett and his staff logged $39,684 in paid travel including a trip for him and his wife to study international trade at Elbow Beach, Bermuda...
