...first went to work for Bill Clinton in the fall of 1991. I had been a wary recruit. President Bush was riding high in the wake of the Gulf War; spending a year on the road in pursuit of a lost cause seemed like a waste. But I agreed to interview for the press secretary...
Eyewitness testimony conflicts sharply on the question of how close they were in pursuit of the Mercedes.

Time after time, I have to tear my kids away from televised baseball in the early innings because it's their bedtime. During the play-offs and World Series it gets even worse. Wake up and revise schedules so kids can go to games, watch them on TV and listen to them on the radio before they have to go to bed. NEIL TOLHURST Winsted, Conn...
