...Clinton who will have to make the difference. Two weekends ago, deputy White House communications chief David Dreyer dug up videotapes of George Bush literally running away from a controversial deficit-reduction deal in October 1990, when he dismissed the package with a glib invitation to "Read my hips" during a jog in Florida. Bush's diffidence at the time was an invitation for members of his own party to revolt, and infuriated Budget Director Richard Darman, who later called it the "biggest mistake of Bush's presidency." After watching the Bush tapes, Clinton's aides vowed to make sure...

It meanders like a 2- hr. 43-min. sax solo by one of Parker's lesser disciples, and it never...

"When he left the race in May, he told us that the campaign was not about a candidate, it was a cause," recalled David Dreyer, Hart's former national-policy director. "I don't know of anything that suggests he is going to serve the cause by getting back in." Former Colorado Governor Richard Lamm, an old ally of Hart's, likened him to the "bastard cousin who shows up at the family reunion."
