...session, Labor Secretary Robert Reich warned the President that "Gingrich is on the verge of capturing the support of working-class people" and urged that Clinton move aggressively to win them back, according to other officials familiar with the meetings. The Republicans will be bold on some fronts, "but they aren't going to take on the wealthy and the special interests," Reich told Clinton. "We should sharply contrast Republicans, who want to cut taxes on capital gains for the wealthy, with Democrats," who want to help working people...
Despite support on some issues from Budget Director Alice Rivlin, the Reich faction seemed outgunned, at least for the moment, by an unlikely alliance of go-slow conservatives and go-slow liberals. Chief of staff Leon Panetta, departing Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen and his designated replacement Robert Rubin, warned against rhetoric that might make the Administration appear "antibusiness."

...first. Would you call former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop an 'obnoxious drunken laggard?" How about IBM Chief Executive Officer Lewis Gerstner? Nationally acclaimed prize-winning author Louise Erdrich? How about former Sen. Paul E. Tsongas (D-Mass.) or Secretary of Labor and former Kennedy School Professor Robert S. Reich? Maybe U.S. News and World Report Economics Editor Susan Dentzer or Dr. Seuss (Theodore Geisel) are 'drunken laggards.' If not, then surely John Guare, playwright and author of "Six Degrees of Separation" or Tonyaward winning Broadway director Jerry Zaks are looses...
