But by and large, she has formed a team whose loyalties are to Hillary alone. It is an extraordinarily disciplined operation, one in which she does not allow the turf wars and leaking that always kept his in turmoil.

The longtime butler there "received my last goodbye embrace and turned it into a joyous dance. We skipped and twirled across the marble floor," she writes.
