Clinton himself, as a ranking insider put it, is "the real manager of this campaign." On the morning after the convention, Clinton told his top aides that he was restructuring the operation. The decision stemmed in part from a campaign flare-up in early June, when several senior staffers complained directly to the candidate about Thomases' tendency to meddle in areas like polling that were far outside her formal role as Hillary's staff director. The ultimate resolution was Thomases' new job as the campaign's internal Dr. No -- the final authority to resist demands on Bill Clinton's time...
...leave patients listless and indifferent. In short, while they alleviate the so-called positive symptoms of schizophrenia -- the voices and the delusions -- they do not touch the negative symptoms of apathy and social withdrawal. Furthermore, they provide this limited sort of recovery for just 40% of patients; 30% have flare-ups of madness and must be periodically hospitalized, while the remaining 30% are considered to be "treatment resistant" and are largely confined to mental institutions...

The 22,000-strong Cambodia enterprise carries a price tag of $1.9 billion over 15 months. In Yugoslavia, where hostilities continue to flare despite a formal cease-fire, the 14,000 troops begin with a one-year budget of $600 million, which is more likely to shrink than grow. But the commitment to protect Serbian enclaves in three war-ravaged areas of Croatia is open-ended, to allow for extensions in the negotiations being...
