...tactics that the President has used successfully twice. Several Labour operatives worked in the Clinton 1992 campaign and produced a confidential memo detailing "lessons learned." They urged Blair to ape Clinton's vaunted "rapid response" operation, its extensive phone banking and--thanks to the President's '92 pollster, Stan Greenberg (who is currently working with Labour)--more sophisticated survey techniques than were then common in Britain. "I'd say the most valuable things we've learned from the Americans are the need to respond instantly to any and all attacks and the imperative to stay 'on message,'" says Gordon Brown...
...addition to employing Greenberg, the Blair team is in frequent phone contact with people such as George Stephanopoulos and James Carville, perhaps the two most important cogs in Clinton's '92 campaign. The most recent personal contact occurred last December, when three Blair assistants took a suite at the Hay Adams hotel in Washington to speak with such White House aides as Rahm Emanuel and Don Baer and close Clinton confidants, including Mark Penn, whose brilliant work helped reposition Clinton to win last fall. "Mostly," says Baer, "the Brits this time were interested mainly in tactics, like how their...
Meanwhile, according to a former believer, Aaron Greenberg--another early recruit of Applewhite and Nettles' (who were also known as the Two)--may be trying to establish himself as a leader of the remnant.

"It's like Madonna or Michael Jordan," exclaims Alan ("Ace") Greenberg, chairman of Bear Stearns and one of the Street's franchise players. This year Ace scored bonuses, on top of his cheesy $200,000 base salary, adding up to $18,840,701 in cash, stock and what a proxy statement calls "other compensation," more than double the pedestrian $8 million he got last year. And that...
...another to pay up to $125,000--plus the proverbial bonus--annually to newly minted investment bankers. Do they deserve it? Wrong question. Money is the way Wall Street keeps score, and the industry has been running it up. "This is America," is the answer of Bear Stearns' Greenberg. "If they get it, they deserve...
