...other potential problem is in-fighting at the White House. Ickes and Morris, the twin planets of the Clinton re-election team, barely tolerate each other. They are the poster boys of the opposing White House camps: liberals vs. moderate New Democrats. Morris has solidified his role as Clinton's guru of choice. One night a week, usually Wednesday, he leads a campaign meeting at the residence that includes the President, Vice President, Sosnik, Bob Squier (the campaign media adviser brought in by Morris and Gore), Stephanopoulos and other senior aides. Ickes apparently bridles at Morris' highbrow musing about...

To a certain extent, the problem of apathy is overstated. An impressive 700 students showed up to the Phillips Brooks House rally to support the public service organization in its fight with the administration over an ultimately esoteric question of control...
...managed-care programs, bears enough resemblance to Clinton's that he knew he had to be very careful. And, indeed, even as the Republicans were working on their plan, the lobby working on behalf of for-profit hospitals was preparing to spend millions on attack ads. They built the poster boards and met with the ad agencies. "We probably could have put ads out in a week," says hospital lobbyist Tom Scully. But they never went on the air, despite the fact that hospitals would take one of the largest hits--roughly $100 billion out of the $270 billion savings...
