...congressional hands may regard Raines' style as a bit naive, but in some ways it represents how the second Clinton Administration is rearranging its priorities. "He gets it," says Vice President Al Gore, a longtime friend, who recruited Raines for the job. "In a relatively short time as OMB director, he has acquired perfect pitch." It comes in part from his training as an investment banker, which he shares with the two other prominent members of Clinton's negotiating team, Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and White House chief of staff Erskine Bowles. Theirs is a culture in which winning...
...race for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2000 begins next week. That's when the AFL-CIO, the nation's largest labor union and the Democrats' biggest organized constituency, gathers for its annual conference. The featured entertainment: back-to-back speeches on Feb. 18 by Vice President Gore and House Democratic leader Dick Gephardt, respectively, the heir apparent and the would-be spoiler in the coming battle to succeed Bill Clinton...

Davis could not say whether Herman had seen the documents, much less okayed them, before they were forwarded to Ickes last February...
...KARENNA GORE is sick of being the Secret Service's Smurfette. The eldest daughter of Al and Tipper reveals her code name (and the fact that Chuck Berry stepped on her toes four years ago) in the first-person Inaugural Insider column she composed for the online magazine Slate, on which she's an editorial assistant. Her duties usually run to fact checking and headline writing, but given the vantage point she had for the festivities, it's not surprising that boss Michael Kinsley gave her a few screen inches. Gore, 23. seems to enjoy being a Second Daughter...
