From the seat of authority in superpower nation, with 348 days to run on William Jefferson Clinton’s presidency, a candid conversation this hour with the man himself: about legacy time in the loneliest job in the world, about the crush of candidates who want it.
Debate pointers for Al Gore, unvarnished answers to the truth-twisting taunts of John McCain. What’s the president’s answer to Clinton fatigue, to Bill Bradley’s baiting?
His take on Alpha males and earth-tone shirts? His last word on the little devil in the blue dress? Or is presidential attention riveted now on the first lady Hillary’s plunge in New York? the new digs and green fairways in Westchester County?
Is Campaign 2000 all about his economy, his values, about him, in a word?
Straight talk with the Comeback Kid, with the bridge-builder to the century we’re already in.
