A Clinton book reviewer, Jerry Schwartz of the Associated Press, makes a very interesting observation.

Virtually the entire book is in mind-numbing chronological order, beginning with the night he was born, slogging month by dreary month up to the present day.

But the chronology is broken in only two instances: "Clinton tells about his indiscretions with [Gennifer] Flowers and Monica Lewinsky" only at the time they're exposed, not in the chronological order they happened. Clinton discusses the government shutdown battle of November 15, 1995 on page 683. But he doesn't mention that his affair with Monica started at that time. He doesn't mention Lewinsky until page 773, where he's discussing events in August, 1998.

A clue to the man's mind. Like the tree falling in the woods, Clinton's coda is "If I don't get caught---with irrefutable proof--it didn't happen".

Clinton is the master of compartmentalization.

I agree, K - a Guild foodie extravaganza would be unequaled!
