White is also upset about the commutation Clinton gave to Susan Rosenberg, who was convicted in 1984 of carrying explosives and weapons for the Weather Underground. One of Rosenberg's guns was bought with fake ID by Linda Sue Evans, who also took part in the 1983 bombing of an empty room at the U.S. Capitol to protest the invasion of Grenada. Clinton's order freed both from prison...
...hearings; Clinton has given that up for the most part and budgeted more time for trips because of the constant interruptions. ("We're learning all the rules of the Senate," she explains, "and then those that apply to me.") One overeager fan even jumped the tracks for the underground congressional trolley to get a chance to meet her.

...there were records in his collection I discovered myself, like Talking Heads' More Songs About Buildings and Food and Marianne Faithfull's Broken English, albums I still number among my favorites.

He finds the Band sublime; I think it sounds like a Canadian beer hall...
