Partly because Clinton gave both government chiefs and the Japanese public a glimpse of the campaigner the U.S. has not seen since last November. At the opening summit session Wednesday, he worked the room like a campaign kaffeeklatsch, stopping to chat briefly with each of the other leaders before taking his chair. Though he talked tough at times, he set the tone at that first meeting with a sentence that sounded more Japanese than Clintonian: "In hard times we shouldn't react like porcupines. We should open...
...sides go through a diplomatic grope in search of common ground, neither expects the CFE talks to be a kaffeeklatsch.

Marr, now at Seattle's KVI, has hired Jennifer James, a cultural anthropologist. Station KXRX in San Jose has taken on Psychologist Thomas Tutko, while San Francisco...
During the hour-long kaffeeklatsch, the President sat on the arm of the living room couch, and at one point invited Diehl, who was chairman of Iowa Farmers for Carter in the 1976 campaign, to stop by the White House to talk some more. Carter also chatted with Mary Diehl about her hobby of collecting arrowheads, and accepted a big hug from her granddaughter Wendy, 11. For Woody Diehl, the occasion was "beautiful."
