...life-imitates-art moments have become more commonplace. Last month, while sitting in the Oval Office monitoring a briefing session with Clinton and his Mideast advisers, chief of staff John Podesta jokingly slipped a note to Lockhart that read, "If this were West Wing, C.J. wouldn't be at this meeting." NBC has realized that the show's verisimilitude can pay off. Because of its edu-content, teachers have given the show high marks, and NBC has distributed West Wing study guides to high schools. Sorkin says he's already looking to hire some conservatives--to give the scripts...
Seven university presidents, including Rudenstine, met with administrators from the White House, like Clinton policy aide Gene Sperling and Chief of Staff John Podesta, to encourage them to be more generous in the funds allocated for science--especially physical sciences...

Where their staffs once fed the rivalry, the principals have begun to rely upon--and even trust--some of the same allies, notably Democratic uber-fund raiser Terry McAuliffe and current White House chief of staff John Podesta. It helped their new rapport that both had so much to lose in last November's midterm election. In late August, Gephardt conspicuously declared his support for Gore against renewed questions involving the Vice President's 1996 fund-raising activities. At a joint campaign event in St. Louis last October...
