...remember talking to him about the movie Sling Blade and Billy Bob Thornton, whom he knew from Arkansas. He said to me there are two guys who understand this movie--him and Howell Raines [Alabama-born, editorial-page editor of the New York Times], who was blasting him all the time. And I called Howell Raines, and he said that yes, he did love the movie. So the critic in Clinton, even though he's getting pummeled every day, still had enough savvy to understand Raines' taste, and how this film related to Southerners.

...presidential materials ever because its subject is not only the most investigated President in history but also the most photographed, most recorded and most documented. The building is being designed by one of America's leading architects, James Polshek, who did the new, award-winning Hayden Planetarium in New York City.

In 1916, when Woodrow Wilson sought a second term, the New York Times rushed to announce his defeat by 10 o'clock election night. Charles Evans Hughes, the Republican candidate, went to bed thinking he had won. Two days later, it became clear that Wilson had won after...
...closely. After keeping quiet at Gore's insistence for six months, the President may have to zip it for six more years. Senator-elect Clinton personally choreographed her victory celebration. She stood between her new colleague, senior New York Senator Charles Schumer, and Chelsea, with the President banished to the side. There would be no Tipper-Al embrace for them. He wiped away a tear. She shed none. His staff explained, "It was her night." There will be no co-senatorship...
