Advisers Bruce Lindsey and Robert Reich...
...Reich and Dalton moved to Cambridge in 1981 and reared two lively boys, now 11 and 8. They also began swapping visits with their friends Bill and Hillary.

"All he knows for sure at this point," said this Clinton aide last Friday, "is that whomever he selects had better play well with others. Only collegiality will get results, and without results, Clinton will...
