...noon from Philadelphia caused little stir when he came down Pennsylvania Avenue in a nondescript carriage, one manservant on horseback behind him. Adams did some routine work in a makeshift office on the first floor of the still unfinished structure, ate supper, then took a candle to make his way up a servants' winding staircase to his bedroom. The main staircase was not finished...
Before November 1800, however, even though work was under way on the Capitol, there was yet little sense of a Federal City. The only evidence of habitation was about 600 modest houses strewn across the marshy but beautiful landscape, which had inspired L'Enfant as he worked at his drawing board in a dim room in Suter's Fountain Inn in Georgetown. The unlikely figure of Adams, embodying the presidency, would bring the spark of life to the new city simply by taking up residence in the house.

...what he wasn't: a carpetbagger or associated with that infidel in the White House. While he made those two points, Hillary was dandling hundreds of babies upstate, where Lazio was as much of a carpetbagger as she was.

And as much as yuppie women may have been skeptical of Hillary's motives, upstate women of a certain age greeted her like Oprah, an avatar of spiritual renewal touching down in Poughkeepsie. They turned out for her, stayed afterward, lined up for autographs. Her first...
...couple's four children, of his wife, the whole gauzy Christmas card. Eskew saw the emotion in Gore's eyes as he watched those pictures. "I could see he was overcome," Eskew says. And so when she called his name, Gore marched out into the crowd, fought his way to the stage, and then Al Gore did something hardly anyone in America had ever seen him do: commit a spontaneously emotional act. He grabbed his wife, kissed her carefully, and then something overcame him and he wrapped his arms around her even tighter and gave her the most fervent kiss...
