...about the presidency as it is about our childhoods. Never mind that Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter remain alive and well. They were and always will be before our time. For us, Ronald Reagan was more than a president. He was the first person we first saw in the Oval Office on the evening news--the American some of us first aspired...
...three-man teams lurk outside the Oval Office so much that White House officials barely notice them after a while. They look like any network news crew--a sound man, maybe a camerawoman and a guy toting a portable light--but they don't work for CBS or NBC. Instead they toil long hours behind the scenes, roaming from the East Room to the West Wing, waiting for Bill Clinton to arrive, shake hands and say a few words.

Knight, 46, went to work for Gore 20 years ago as a top aide in the House and later the Senate; today he is the man who many say is Gore's political alter ego, the smooth operator within Gore's tight-knit inner circle. His name turns up everywhere; he was even on Gore's 1989 trip to Taiwan that was led by overzealous fund raiser John Huang...
