...lengthen response time and leave Clinton trying to do too many things at once. Two weeks ago, early one morning, McLarty had to insist that the President stop signing pictures during a meeting and move away from his desk into another chair to have what he called "a nice, crisp, 10- minute meeting on scheduling." Clinton will finally take a Thanksgiving break at Camp David this week, but only after considerable pulling and tugging by top advisers, who reminded him that Americans distrust a man who is all work and no play...
When you enter the store, you can't help but feel a little disoriented by the dualistic nature of the place--the front of the store is crisp and office-like, accented by granite tiling and wooden panels, while the other two-thirds of the establishment is plush, richly textured, and riddled with hair care products.

When children disappear, a fate that has befallen 4,500 American kids in the past year, their faces usually turn up as blurry black-and-white snapshots tacked plaintively on poles around their neighborhood. But the crisp likeness of Polly Klaas, the 12-year-old girl who was kidnapped Oct. 1 from her home in Petaluma, California, has shown up everywhere: on television, on computer networks and on flyers in supermarkets, libraries and hospitals. The explanation for the ubiquity of the girl's image extends beyond a fascination with the brazen nature of the abduction: a knife-wielding bearded stranger...
