...added touch to emphasize that the transition had been made, the White House press plane broke down this afternoon (Gore's press plane had earlier suffered mechanical woes). But Monroe offers two other pieces of symbolism for the pundits to ponder. One, it's the home of La-Z-Boy, a fitting place for Clinton to start his political retirement. The other is less propitious for Gore: It's also the birthplace of a man with a rather unenviable record in big battles: Gen. George Custer...
President George Bush is plainly miffed. What right does Bill Clinton have to zing his son for being called "my boy" by his own father? "That's just the way I talk about my sons," the President says. But, he adds, he "made a mistake" with his angry televised rejoinder. "I went too far," he says. "That's it. I'm not going to say anything more." He puts his hand up and zips his lips.

The next day he made the rounds of the network morning shows. He concedes he couldn't say all he wanted (he had to cut his speech to meet that 11 p.m. deadline) but saw his moment...
...your productions of your company.... [The American people] want chase scenes and car crashes. They want firm breasts and tight-assed Latino men. They want their cowboys to be strong and silent. They want their cops to bend the rules to get the job done. They want the boy to get the girl. They want the alien to be killed, unless he's cute. They want the good guy to win. They want the bad guy to die, hopefully in the biggest explosion the budget will allow. But most importantly, Senator, they want to walk into a theater...
