Contemplating his own life in Brando: Songs My Mother Taught Me (Random House; 568 pages; $25), Marlon Brando, aided by journalist Robert Lindsey, strikes a pose of injured innocence: he is a sweet-spirited, mischievous man- child who accidentally fell first into acting, then into fame and finally into self-contempt, and at 70 remains "an enigma to myself in a world that still bewilders me." That observation pretty well sums up the level of self- awareness (and self-revelation) he achieves in his book...
...Leon Panetta. While Clinton isn't expected to issue major announcements this week, he's approved stricter job definitions for free-floating senior aides, who can no longer saunter into the Oval Office at will. As of today, ex-communications director George Stephanopoulos is Panetta's deputy; adviser Bruce Lindsey moves to the White House counsel's office, as does Clinton kindergarten buddy and Panetta predecessor Mack McLarty.

...sudden inflation of Whitewater from a nuisance into a crisis, Administration officials insisted, was due more to their colleagues' stupidity than to any new evidence of misdeeds. The President said it was all a problem of perception. Desperate to move on, they could even joke about it; adviser Bruce Lindsey cracked that Whitewater was the site of the future Clinton presidential library. But the greatest perceptual change had implications far beyond Whitewater and its tributaries: the President's wife, the most unaccountable member of any Administration, was being called to account for her actions...
