Wolf made her first foray into presidential politics in 1995, as an adviser to Clinton's own once secret consultant, Dick Morris. In his book about that campaign, Morris wrote that he met with Wolf--whose husband David Shipley was then a White House speechwriter--every few weeks for almost a year. Morris credited her for helping "persuade me to pursue school uniforms, tax breaks for adoption, simpler cross-racial adoption laws and more workplace flexibility. She often said that the candidate who best understood the fatigue of the American woman would win." Wolf also persuaded Morris that the country...
...beautiful "Call Waiting" both blend in the stuttering backbeats of 90s R&B, while the inclusion of rapper Black Thought (from the Roots, Philly's famed hip-hop collective) on "Rafiki" makes a great counterpoint to Daulne's scat.

...Panama for a presidential inauguration when the U.S. marshals marched into FBI headquarters, and instantaneous leaks of the foray were regarded as her camp's first big p.r. move against Freeh since the debacle erupted two weeks ago. He had started his own damage control early, making public the memos that confirmed the use of hot grenades, naming 40 agents to gather the facts and proposing that a reputable outsider head the new investigation. The extremely deliberate Reno would accede to all that later but seemed to be plodding two steps behind the nimbler FBI director. It wasn...
