While Clinton is a night owl, Gore goes to bed before Nightline and risesearly. Communications director Mark Gearan, who oversaw the vice- presidential selection process, said Gore's face went into free fall when Gearan told him that his meeting with then Governor Clinton about joining the ticket would begin at the Capital Hilton at 11:30 p.m., a good hour after Gore's bedtime. The Vice President says he has persuaded Clinton "to get more sleep...
...Clinton help himself by turning to three agreeable men to be his top aides. In McLarty, Clinton has chosen a chief of staff who has either been unwilling or unable to exert much discipline on the President or his staff. Deputy chief of staff Mark Gearan is well liked, but as one campaign consultant put it, "If Mack or Mark were really angry at you, you wouldn't wet your pants.

Staff members have been sniping that Myers "doesn't look the part of a White House press secretary." Translation...
...Africa's racial policies. Dukakis listens sympathetically. Looming over the meeting is a too- hot topic that remains pretty much unspoken: whether Dukakis should offer Jackson the second spot on the ticket (which he won't) and what will happen when he doesn't. Down in the lobby, Mark Gearan, a Dukakis spokesman, entertains drowsy reporters with a piano rendition of Getting to Know You from The King...
