...Clinton's focus on such small-change matters as school uniforms, curfews and V-chips was a tactic of genius. He could be appealing as the nation's ward healer, while lamenting the existence of deep, vast ills that no one believed a national leader could fix anyway. He carefully looked to determine which side his bread was buttered on, and saw that it was the crust...

He skimmed the book and put it aside...
...think that Rasputin stayed dead for a half-century and then, irrepressible, achieved reincarnation, not as one person this time, but as an entire decade--the '60s. This expansive metaphysics would have allowed him to show off all his facets: as holy man and party boy, as faith healer, sexual omnivore, purveyor of mystic salvations and bogus profundities, enemy of soap, hairy narcissist...
