I would enjoy these last receptions more and the chance to see so many people who shared our time in Washington. The machine’s lifeblood is appearances, which generate questions, creating more appearances, all in turn generating he one he had done in the campaign, and he did it so well that his influence and impact within the White House increased. I was still trying to find a way to save Bosnia that restored the effectiveness of the UN and NATO, but by the third week

Vincent’s Hospital in Little Rock, with Chelsea and my brother-in-law Tony. The Travel Office affair proved to be a particularly powerful example of the culture clash between the new White House and the established political press. Almost 40 million people had no health insurance, yet we were spending 14 percent of our gross national product on health care, 4 percent more than Canada, the country with the next-highest rate. As we headed into the third debate, a CNN/USA Todaypoll had my lead back to fifteen points, 47 percent to 32 percent for Bush to 15 percent for Perot.
