...columnist George Will, himself a congenital baseball fan, who thought the President might like a relaxing night talking about his favorite sport. After a dessert of ice cream and cookies shaped like French fries and hot dogs, Bush gave the group a tour of his new home including the Oval Office and the Cabinet room. "He was so gracious," said Glavine. "He said: 'If you don't mind, I'd like to show you around.' We were looking at each other like: 'Are you kidding me?'" Though the conversation touched occasionally on issues of the day - such as the gunman...
...campaign, Cheney would sometimes go almost a week without talking to the man at the top of the ticket. Now they spend as much as two-thirds of every working day in each other's presence. Their togetherness begins at 8 a.m. with an intelligence briefing in the Oval Office. By the time Cheney settles into his yellow chair near the fireplace for that session, he has already received his daily CIA briefing. To maximize efficiency, he is briefed during the 25-minute ride from the McLean, Va., town house where he and his wife Lynne are living while...

But the lunch is important because the two men are completely alone. There they discuss issues like whether some adviser has too broad a portfolio or whether a new Cabinet Secretary can handle a looming challenge...
...patriot and mythologizer like Steven Spielberg to direct his biopic. Instead he tapped WES CRAVEN, the man behind Scream and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Craven was enlisted to direct a hastily arranged White House shoot on Jan. 13 in which Clinton conducted a three-hour tour of the Oval Office, Cabinet room and residence. The finished product will be screened at Clinton's yet to be constructed presidential library. "Here I am, I've made some of the most horrific films, and now I'm in the White House," said a stunned Craven, whose self-deprecation presumably referred...
