...link is hardly arm's length. Knight, 46, went to work for Gore 20 years ago as a top aide in the House and later the Senate; today he is the man who many say is Gore's political alter ego, the smooth operator within Gore's tight-knit inner circle. His name turns up everywhere; he was even on Gore's 1989 trip to Taiwan that was led by overzealous fund raiser John Huang and included a stop at the headquarters of the Buddhist sect whose Southern California temple was host to Gore for his notorious "donor-maintenance" event...
...military high-ups weren't the only ones to lose their stomach for a fight. William Weld got a severe case of inner-Beltway butterflies, causing him to throw in the towel against Jesse Helms. The President himself got an attack of parental nerves as Chelsea left for Stanford; so distraught was her dad that he had to lean on something extremely soft ? like the tobacco settlement...

Watching her on television, jolting with tears as she listened to a speech praising and defending her work, one saw signs of an almost delusional inner drama. If power corrupts the self, then absolute fame must surely distort it. Her enthusiasms were crankish, hypochondriac, self-obsessive: aromatherapy, colonic irrigation, the fool's gold of astrology. Diana, I repeat, was "soft" news. She caused sensations by wearing a party dress or by gaining a kilo of weight. She made headlines with every wave of her hand, every twitch...
