When the Bushes arrived for coffee Saturday morning, Bill Clinton was still nursing a paper cut on his finger. He had sliced it during a packing frenzy in the wee hours of Friday, and his friend Harry Thomason had tried to close the cut with Super Glue. Sorting his stuff through the night--an usher said the White House felt like a 7-Eleven all week--Clinton told a story about every gewgaw he was piling into boxes marked LIBRARY, CHAPPAQUA and WASHINGTON...
...timing of independent counsel Robert Ray's announcement of a Lewinsky settlement. Sure, Clinton had been bouncing around the country like Ricky Martin for two weeks, hogging the spotlight, but a natural-born pol like Bush could see that was fair game. Clinton turned to TV producer/director Thomason--an old friend who had got muddied in Travelgate and who with his wife Linda had spent the last Thanksgiving, the last Christmas and now the last two days in the White House--to back-channel an apology through movie producer and Bush friend Jerry Weintraub. On Weintraub's last visit...
...last night, Thomason hoped there might be time to go bowling in the White House basement, as he and Clinton had done eight years before (they got blisters back then from wearing the wrong shoes).

On the long table that he kept filling with giveaway items, a lone pair of pajamas remained...

"Bill Clinton does not believe that impeachment will be in the first paragraph of his obituary," says his friend Hollywood producer Linda Bloodworth Thomason. "It will be for some of his enemies, because that's the most significant thing in their lives. I don't think Bill Clinton believes that impeachment will be the most significant thing in his life." Payback is not part of the postpresidential agenda. Friends say Clinton, a great rationalizer about his own actions, tries...
...Pink Floyd's The Wall respectively, the surprisingly original collection of musical scenes relates a hypnotic story that is enthralling, terrifying and satisfying when examined as a complete, work. Each member of this incredibly talented ensemble contributes considerably, along with the additional sumptuous, inviting and quivering vocals of Theresa Thomason on two of the most emotional tracks. Scenes from a Memory is not gentle, inconsequential, one-hit-oriented contemporary rock but rather a cohesive composition that must be deciphered in order to be appreciated...
