...unending doubt, and that he invariably gave the men he was supposed to hate his best lines. He saw the folly, and the frailty, of everyone around him. Thus adulterers come to feel compassion for the husbands they're cuckolding; victims see the human side of their criminal tormentors; Fowler in The Quiet American comes to mourn the death of his rival in love and opponent in politics (schadenfreude in reverse, you could say). Even when he was writing wartime propaganda for the British government, Greene described an Englishman's shooting of a German lieutenant-and then finding...
...officials from the President on down trying out theories of "what happened" on one another. The soul-searching has ended, and no one sped the change more than Ickes. Last week, backed by Mrs. Clinton, he worked out the arrangement by which Senator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut and Don Fowler, a longtime party operative from South Carolina, will take over as co-chairmen of the party this week. Dodd will be the outside man, talking on television, taking on Newt Gingrich and defending the President on Whitewater, as necessary. Fowler, a close friend of Ickes', will try to resurrect...

Ending a fractious search for the next chairman of the Democratic Party, President Clinton settled for a two-man team. Telegenic Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd, who will remain in his seat, will become general chairman of the party and its chief spokesman. Donald Fowler, a longtime Southern political operative, will become the party's national chairman and day-to-day manager...
President Clinton wants the leadership of the Democratic party to be split up into two parts, with Senator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut overseeing policy and South Carolina Democratic party chief Donald Fowler in charge of the daily operations. White House spokesman Mike McCurry said today that an announcement was likely "in a matter of days" if the shared responsibility arrangement can be resolved to Fowler and Dodd's satisfaction. Under the arrangement, Dodd would assume the title of general chairman of the Democratic National Committee and Fowler, chairman. The scheme is similar to one adopted by the Republicans under President...
