Affable communications director Mark Gearan became a gorilla, while mild-mannered personnel chief Bruce Lindsey wore a nun's habit. Pirate George Stephanopoulos huddled with media whiz Mandy Grunwald, who looked for all the world like a health security card. White House decorator Kaki Hockersmith--Scarlett O'Hara--had her dress made from fabric matching the curtains in the Lincoln Bedroom...
