...this team lose? John Valentine's back from a knee injury and hit a homerun in his first game back in spring training. Dante Bichette is in Boston for an entire season. Trot Nixon should benefit from another year of experience--if the club can find a position for him. Troy O'Leary, a solid player in his own right, might be traded because the Sox just have too many outfielders who can play...
...China to clean the air. In 1993 he became a mid-level "constituency outreach" coordinator at the D.N.C., sent around the country to attend picnics, wave in parades and play golf. In 1994 he married Senator Barbara Boxer's daughter Nicole in the first Rose Garden wedding since Tricia Nixon's. The marriage was short and troubled, and the two are still embroiled in a custody dispute over their son Zachary, now five, who frequently stays with the Clintons. He sat in the Senate Gallery next to the President during Hillary's swearing...
...brothers. Hugh isn't the only family member to disgrace a President (not even the only one in the Clinton family). Donald Nixon had shady business dealings. Billy Carter lobbied for Libya and peddled Billy Beer. The hard-drinking Sam Houston Johnson was practically kept under White House arrest by L.B.J. Roger Clinton, a mediocre musician and sometime actor (playing "Mayor Bubba" in Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings), lived up to his bad-brother billing recently by abusing a nightclub bouncer and getting arrested for drunk driving--all after receiving a presidential pardon himself. He also submitted his own list...
...Johnson "bring the boys home," as it was so jocularly put. Kissinger did not help Johnson bring the boys home, but rather did his best to see that Johnson could not bring the boys home--which, if anyone really cares, cost America 20,000 more boys and the Nixon presidency...
Today there are 10 presidential libraries, not counting the still disputed Nixon papers, which are housed in a suburban Washington warehouse, and Clinton's planned facility. But the library is now just part of a former President's operation. Attached to the libraries are privately funded museums and foundations. These have become minor tourist attractions (presidential libraries combined get some 2 million visitors annually) and, in some cases, major employment programs for the ex-Presidents' pals. Because the presidency keeps getting bigger, so do the libraries. Gerald Ford's library has more documents than F.D.R.'s. No wonder Presidents leave...
