...early January, Reed took the finished draft to Manchester, New Hampshire, where Clinton and his wife were campaigning.

At 8:30, an hour before the vote, Kerrey emerged and said he was going to the floor to give his speech. There he took the opportunity to bash Clinton's bill one more time.

...final ice cream outlet worth mentioning is Swenson's, on Brattle Street. Strictly a takeout joint, Swensen's shares space with David's Cookies, introducing that distraction factor. On the other hand, cookies and ice cream go well together, and you might like that fresh-baked cookie smell...
