Bill and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton have a new project–Arkansas Democrats. Bill's boosting longtime friend Jimmie Lou Fisher, who's trying to be the first female guv in the state's history. Friends say Clinton's peeved that the GOP has control of the governor's office and invites Republicans like White House aide Karl Rove to speak at dinners. He's also helping in the re-election campaign of Rep. Mike Ross. Senator Clinton, who traded Little Rock for New York, is also paying her respects. She plans several trips to the state and is even interested in helping the Democrat running for secretary of...

RALEIGH, N.C. -- For weeks, Republicans hammered at Democratic Senate candidate Erskine Bowles for avoiding links to his former boss, President Clinton. Those attacks will become a little harder to make now. New television ads airing this week show Bowles, a former White House chief of staff, with his old boss. The half-minute ads tout Bowles' part in the federal response to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. They include images of bloodied victims and the bombed shell of the federal building, where 168 people died. Both ads include a photo of Bowles sitting across a table from Clinton on Air...

<p>CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Erskine Bowles served as White House chief of staff under former President Bill Clinton. But the Democratic front-runner in North Carolina’s U.S. Senate race makes no mention of his former boss in campaign ads.</p> <p>"I’m running on my own experience in this campaign," Bowles said. "I don’t think the people of North Carolina are going to vote for someone based on who their connections are with — although I have great connections in Washington."</p>

Bill Clinton's political legacy, at least for this election year, lies in the hands of his former staff. No fewer than six high-ranking officials from the Clinton administration are now candidates for office themselves. Four former cabinet secretaries are running for governor in various states, while two former White House advisers are hoping to be elected to Congress. All will face the challenge of explaining the actions of their former boss, but they have more in common than that. Five of the six have never sought office (former Energy Secretary Bill Richardson, running for governor of New Mexico, was once...

Soviet Weather Engineering over North America This taped presentation, which was made in 1985, is included for historical reference purposes only.  Since then, the technology has been developed into more rigorous longitudinal EM wave interferometry, which is the exact nature of those earlier weather engineering weapons.  The foundations of scalar electro-magnetics are well explained in this presentation. U.S. Defence Secretary Cohen expresses concern about eco-terrorism using scalar electromagnetic weapons.

World Government is pounding on our door and demanding that the U.S. surrender its sovereignty and let the United Nations take over our lives. Worldwide taxes would be imposed by people in far-off lands elected by no one. This is not conspiracy theory. This is fact. It is happening right now. Alarmed citizens are bombarding the White House with demands that the U.S. say no to global taxes. Global taxation is the centerpiece of a four-day United Nations conference starting Monday. The gathering is to consider recommendations of a special High Level Council. The mail pouring into the White House...

Former President Clinton publicly chastised former Labor Secretary Robert Reich yesterday for abandoning his administration's policies and denied he ever nudged Reich into the race for governor. Clinton, appearing with longtime friend and Reich opponent Steve Grossman, said he was alarmed when Reich claimed to the Herald that the former president ``encouraged'' his campaign. ``I like (Reich) fine, but I didn't like the implication that somehow I encouraged him into the race when you already had one guy in the race that had supported my policies, and at critical points (Reich) didn't,'' Clinton said. ``I wouldn't have done that.'' But...

Students grill Janet Reno before her ODU lecture By TONY GERMANOTTA, The Virginian-Pilot copy; March 12, 2002 NORFOLK -- The questions were tough, the answers thoughtful. Sixteen students turned up during Old Dominion's spring break to grill former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno a couple hours before she delivered a lecture at the school. They asked her about terrorism, civil liberties and the children who died in the operation against the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, in 1993. And they asked her about her former boss, President Clinton, and how she felt when she learned of his affair with...

Robert Reich's Claim of Phrase Studied By JOHN McELHENNY Associated Press Writer March 7, 2002, 6:24 PM EST BOSTON -- It's not exactly Al Gore claiming to invent the Internet, but gubernatorial candidate Robert Reich's claim he coined the phrase "corporate welfare" is raising some eyebrows. Reich, secretary of labor under President Clinton, made the claim most recently at a candidates' forum Saturday, but it's not the first time. In a 1998 article in The American Prospect, which Reich founded, Reich's co-author Frank Laird, a University of Denver professor, wrote: "Since Robert Reich coined the phrase several years ago, 'corporate ...

By ANDREW BUCHANAN, Associated Press Writer CHICAGO - With two weeks left before the Democratic primary, the congressional race featuring ex-Clinton aide Rahm Emanuel has taken a nasty turn, with personal attacks and accusations of anti-Semitism. The latest dustup involves remarks made Monday by a supporter of candidate Nancy Kaszak about Emanuel, who is Jewish. At a celebration honoring a Polish general of the Revolutionary War, Polish American Congress president Ed Moskal suggested that Emanuel was a citizen of Israel and served for two years in the Israeli army. He also called Emanuel a "millionaire carpetbagger who knows nothing about ...

Clinton-bashers, beware: Even though the former president's name won't grace any ballots this year, eight of his former minions have caught the campaign bug and now seek elective office. No other administration in memory has spawned so many candidates, and that's a source of pride for those still waving the Clinton banner. Paul Begala, a former aide to Bill Clinton, lauded "the extraordinary number of people he has inspired to enter public service." Washington analyst Stuart Rothenberg said: "It's very rare to see this many aides and cabinet people run for office. Did Clinton's political energies rub off on them? ...

WASHINGTON – Former Arkansas Gov. Jim Guy Tucker, a Democrat ally of Bill Clinton, was suspended Monday from the Supreme Court Bar and told he had 40 days to show why he should not be disbarred. Tucker succeeded Clinton as governor of Arkansas but was forced to resign after convictions in the Whitewater investigation. Clinton gave up his Arkansas law license for five years as part of a deal with Whitewater independent counsel Robert Ray in exchange for Ray's dropping the investigation into the president's perjury and liaison with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Clinton was disbarred from the ...
