...class on the 8:15 a.m. TWA flight from St. Louis to Washington after the first presidential debate. Seems he took a lot of heat for it from the bigwigs back in coach class, including White House chief of staff James Baker, presidential pollster and official campaign chairman Robert Teeter and Budget Director Dick Darman. "I've visited 35 states since February," Bond says, "and I've accumulated several hundred thousand frequent-flyer miles, which we're using to upgrade me at no expense to the party or the campaign...

Under Baker's orders, Teeter asked campaign counsel Bobby Burchfield to pull together the record in a clear, undramatic fashion and let the public judge. Burchfield turned out a lengthy, side-by-side comparison of Clinton's comments over the past year that fueled numerous news reports.
