...Lewis and Clark commemoration. In April when 130 tribal delegates gathered in Lewiston, Idaho, under the auspices of the Lewis and Clark council, the tone veered sharply off the official "reconciliation" trail.

He prefers to go shirtless on his yacht, and pays strict attention to his waistline...
