...Hours later, however, the President was reminded of the potential for evil back home. ?The President was awakened by Bruce Lindsey who told him about the Arkansas shooting,? says Isaacson. ?He was so upset he couldn't get back to sleep. He called people back in Arkansas to keep talking about it through the night.? Developing a policy response to that tragedy may prove even more complex than the Rwanda dilemma...
...shadowed him everywhere--the Jones team tried to demonstrate a historic pattern of inducement and intimidation: rewards for women who cooperated sexually and then kept it quiet; punishments for those who said no or talked about it later. The Jones documents allege that Clinton's longtime allies--aide Bruce Lindsey, former aide Betsey Wright, old friend Skip Rutherford and former security chief Buddy Young--used sweet persuasion, ugly threats or the promise of state and federal jobs to squelch what Wright has famously called "bimbo eruptions...

His nicknames have run the gamut from "the Enforcer" to "the Consigliere," the Sicilian word...
...President's own deposition puts Lindsey in the thick of things. Clinton believes it was Lindsey who first told him Monica Lewinsky might be called as a witness in the Paula Jones case. And he says the first time he recalls seeing Jones herself was on television, and that he said at the time to Lindsey, "Bruce, do we know this lady? Who is this person?" But it is the female witnesses who contend that the Enforcer worked overtime trying to compel a silence about Clinton's past sexual relationships. Lindsey was allegedly in contact with Linda Tripp, his former...
