...April, Bush and Clinton went to the Pope's funeral together, trading stories almost nonstop on the plane ride over, a cabinmate reports. And then Clinton flew to Maine in June for a weekend of wall-to-wall recreation. Bush was so excited about Clinton's arrival that he volunteered to pilot his three-engine speedboat about 30 miles up the coast from Kennebunkport to pick him up in person at the Portland airport.

The signs of change were coming nonstop. At the Costco warehouse store in Bozeman, 50 miles from my home in Livingston, I stopped bumping into my neighbors on Saturday mornings in the cavernous dog-and-cat-food aisle.
