...outsider's air and stands apart from the Clinton establishment--making the weekly commute from his rural Connecticut home, conducting business out of a suite at the elegant Jefferson Hotel--Morris has an insider's ability to push his agenda. His allies are the First Lady, Vice President Al Gore, press secretary Mike McCurry, communications director Don Baer, policy adviser Bruce Reed and presidential counselor Bill Curry. But his closest confidant is the President himself, for whom he prepares exclusive briefing books that sometimes critique Clinton's other advisers. Some aides say Morris sees the Executive Branch as his playground...
...politics would surely make him restless. "I've never met anyone with as much need to be on a plane scheming and plotting as Dick," says media consultant Goodman.

He will struggle as a campaigner: crowds may like but rarely swoon at his wooden crescendos of passion. But for now, he is securely parked at Clinton's side, where he puts his fingerprints on White House initiatives large and small. It was Gore who suggested the best bit of stagecraft in Clinton's virtuoso State of the Union speech: planting in the gallery Richard Dean...
...convention had gone as planned with Clinton gaining back much of his lead over GOP challenger Bob Dole. Most polls showed Clinton with a 12-to-15 point lead after he had slipped into single digits following the Republican convention. After leaving Chicago, Clinton and Vice President Al Gore will take a page from their 1992 playbook and take a campaign bus trip around the Midwest. -->
