...Rainbow Coalition--is merely the most famous of these confrontations, all designed to show that Clinton would govern as a new kind of Democrat. And Bush's words are designed to show that he would govern as a new kind of Republican--one who uses conservative principles to help the poor as well as the rich...
...only rival gaining on him is Senator John McCain: in New Hampshire he has picked up 13 points in a month, standing at 23% to Bush's 43% in one poll.

Lasseter stepped in full time as director to help his two younger co-directors. More than half the movie had to be redone. Buster the dog was added, as was Wheezy, the damaged penguin. Tensions rose as the workload increased. The company stock was on a yo-yo ride, with merchandise income from the $358 million megahit Toy Story trickling out and home video and merchandise sales from...
