...Bill Clinton has no right claiming that he is the new Ross Perot. He assumes that his comments about political reform, shared sacrifice, tax increase and empowerment entitles him to the Perot constituency. Well, I know Ross Perot. I worked for Ross Perot.

Today's younger generation (Wilhelm seemed in blissful ignorance of the Alexander Star article in The New Republic that pointed out that there really is no such thing) is looking to its future, economically insecure and politically alienated, said Wilhelm.
