...President," says Panetta. For now, the Clinton camp insists, no new names will be called in. All this is fine with Republicans, who are hoping that Clinton will be pulled off the Morris program by serious liberals like Ickes and Stephanopoulos. Clinton pollster Mark Penn and media consultant Bill Knapp, who have already shouldered a great deal of the campaign's strategy and message work, will take on even more. Veteran consultant Bob Squier, a key Gore ally, will remain on board. But no matter how well they identify the political center, few expect them to have the same power...
When we got up in the morning Thursday, we called some friends and my sister, who came up to the suite. Then the other consultants came over--Bob Squier, Doug Schoen, Bill Knapp, Mark Penn. Dick was so choked up he couldn't talk. He grabbed my laptop computer and said he was having trouble talking, and he started to type.

...much hyped new memoir, Drinking: A Love Story, 37-year-old journalist Caroline Knapp unravels her tumultuous past life as a "high-functioning" alcoholic.

The report, however, didn't reach the conclusion he had hoped for. It found that 3 out of 4 insurers paid for such treatments and, moreover, that by 1991 transplants would probably become "prevailing practice among...
...Knapp told TAG's project director, Janna Lee Smithey, he was "very disappointed" in the report, she testified in the 1993 civil trial. When she asked him why, he replied, "Because you didn't tell me it was experimental." He said it in a joking way, but in fact the report had perturbed Dr. Knapp, who stated in his own deposition that the report's data did not support its conclusions; he recalled raising "a little hell about it." The report apparently was never circulated very widely. In depositions last year, both Dr. Ossorio and Dr. Sam Ho, by then...
