And let's not forget that Bill Clinton cut short his Thanksgiving sojourn at Camp David so that he could fly back to the White House a day or two early. His excuse? He claimed he needed to pick up a volume of poetry for a speech he was writing. What was his true purpose? We'll never know, but one thing is certain: He came back to do damage control with regard to Wise's death.
I am always amazed at the super-duper memories freepers have! I remembered Ms. Wise, but forgot Clintoon coming back to WH early during that time. Way to go giotto
