...blitz of appearances on the TV yack shows to explain and defend his heterodoxy. The Old Guard from the Reagan White House, who had arranged Morris' appointment as official chronicler, are all holding their breath, concerned only that their beloved President be lovingly portrayed, by whatever device. Said Ken Duberstein, Reagan's last White House chief of staff: "I'm not looking forward to it, and I don't know anyone who is." Perhaps not accidentally, the very boldness of Morris' device is bringing a flood of attention to the book, 14 anguished years in the making, and will surely...
...many Republicans in Congress and beyond, blocking a censure resolution would be the last great political blunder in a year-long Clinton scandal that has unified Democrats and nearly crippled the G.O.P. "Republicans need the cover as much as Democrats do," warns Ken Duberstein, a former Reagan White House chief of staff and Republican Party elder. "Just because Democrats want it doesn't make...
Finally, to run the Clinton Regency, the White House would need to draw back into action a blue-chip crew comparable to the one enlisted by Ronald Reagan to save his presidency after Iran-contra in 1986.

Clinton, long in favor of the provision, phoned Senate majority leader TRENT LOTT late last week to make clear his support...
Marianne remained a holdout; by Monday she and her husband could barely discuss the subject. That's when the Speaker asked Washington wise man Ken Duberstein, who had been urging Gingrich to pay the fine for weeks, to lend a hand. Duberstein gently told a sometimes tearful Marianne that her husband would be crushed politically if he didn't pay the debt himself, now or on installment. He said Dole's generous offer gave the Speaker a long time to make the payment--and would buy Gingrich time to consolidate his shaky position in the House. "There...
