...would be 'fore I met the big guy. Give 'em here." At that point, Clinton picked me up from my father's arms and said, "Lucky for you that you look like your momma." He then tussled my hair, chuckled and handed me back. After that, he became solemn and said, "Len, Avis, I can't tell you how much I've preciated your support for the past four years. I hope I can count on you two again this year. If we can win this election, we can really turn things around...
...time entirely to academic pursuits (and to bashing Western civilization). Contrast these benificent achievements with the age-old sorrows of malnutrition, disease, and back-breaking physical drudgery that plagued the peoples Columbus encountered in the New World. On the basis of physical quality of life alone, we should feel solemn gratitude to Columbus for enabling Western civilization to spread the benefits of its scientific prowess to this half of the globe...

The very first spot, aired on June 27, telegraphed the President's strategy: Clinton wouldn't be out-toughed. In that ad a solemn President stared at the camera and said, "Deadly assault weapons off our streets; 100,000 more police on the streets; extend the death penalty. That's how we'll protect America." From there the President's team directed a family-values campaign that routinely tarred the G.O.P. as the party...
