...constituents compete in foreign markets. By 4 p.m. Thursday, Clinton "hit the wall," said an aide who was present, still three votes short. Between the hours of 7 and 9 that night, while downing a huge hamburger and a plate of French fries, the President promised to play golf with three different Congressmen sometime this summer. The numbers kept moving, right down to the last 30 seconds. When it was over, Clinton and his aides looked around the Oval Office with a mixture of relief and astonishment. "That was the closest vote of my life," remarked Bentsen, who spent...
...Garlands admit that sun blocks filter out the most damaging solar rays and prevent sunburn. But that allows fair-skinned people to stay on the beach or golf course longer than would otherwise be tolerable.

This was the moment of truth, when Bill Clinton -- breezing in wearing a golf shirt -- would wrestle with the options for action in Bosnia one more time. For more than four hours, the advisers went over the pros, but mainly the cons, of military intervention in Bosnia. "The President listened and everyone talked," said one participant. "It was not a session called to ratify his ready-made decisions." Only...
...annual retreat for Democratic Senators in the Virginia Tidewater is usually a relaxed affair, with the attractions of golf, beer and barbecue. But for Bill Clinton it was a chance for another 12-hour day of nonstop talk about health care, Bosnia and the deficit. As his hosts tried to sneak in a drink or a bite of supper from the buffet, Clinton was all business and going strong, guzzling mineral water straight from the bottle and grilling individual Senators about how they would reform campaign finance or move the pesky crime bill...
