...Clinton's informal advisers, they contend they won't be following the example of Dick Morris--cashing in on their access and taking credit for every successful White House move. Leopoulos, for one, won't even be at this week's Inauguration. The $150 cost of an Inaugural Ball ticket is too steep, he says, and he would have to miss his 12-year-old daughter's tryout for the Arkansas select soccer team.

Under the President's plan, spending for the two giant health care programs, which cover 75 million poor, disabled and elderly Americans, would not be allowed to grow faster than about 5 percent annually. "Clinton has to hit these big ticket items if he has any realistic chance of balancing the budget," says TIME Washington correspondent Jef McAllister. "Since Medicaid and Medicare have had big percentage increases in spending in recent years, this is not a revolutionary idea." That theory won't stave off gripes from the health care industry, from...
