[About his non-observance of certain concert hall traditions] I don't intend to ruffle any feathers, but I'm not adverse to doing so. The people that believe certain things about dress and such, they're pretty much a captive audience. They've got nowhere else to go.

The 103 White House coffees were the most creative--and controversial--fund-raising technique invented by either party for the 1996 campaign. There was no admission fee per se, but past donors and potential givers were treated to a special set of Washington briefings with top officials that culminated in an hourlong session with the President. The events normally took place in the cozy, first-floor Map Room, a tastefully furnished, book-lined enclave in the Executive Mansion where...
