Apparently there's not enough action in bucolic Chappaqua to keep ex-President Clinton entertained, so he's been looking for a new home-away-from-home in the city that never sleeps. "Friends say he's yearning to have a pied-a-terre where he could move and shake in Manhattan," reports the New York Post. "He's been looking for a place primarily on the Upper West Side with a couple of bedrooms for about $2 million," said one real estate agent familiar with Clinton's apartment plans. Before he was tied down with the deadline of having to finish his multi-million dollar memoir, Clinton was said to be...

WASHINGTON, April 12 — As Bill Clinton seeks to finish his memoirs, leading Democrats are voicing concern that the book could overshadow Senator John Kerry's presidential campaign, diverting attention to Mr. Clinton's outsize legacy of scandal and achievement. Many Democrats said they wanted the book published as far as possible before the election and, certainly, before the Democratic National Convention in late July. They fear that the book will embolden Mr. Clinton's foes to turn out and vote for President Bush. Mr. Clinton, for his part, has increased the nervous speculation about the book in Democratic circles by making a...

Sometime in the next few months, the official portraits of Bill and Hillary Clinton will be ready to be presented to the White House. Traditionally, the portraits of the two immediately preceding presidents have been displayed in the entrance foyer. Clinton strayed from that practice and hung George Bush's portrait, but requested that John F. Kennedy, a Democrat, be displayed instead of Republican Ronald Reagan. Those two presidential portraits remain in the foyer to this day. No word yet on where the current residents will choose to hang Clinton's portrait.

Bill Clinton still casts a long shadow He provides advice and a blueprint for Democratic candidates to follow, but he could upstage them, too. By Liz Marlantes | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor WASHINGTON – He may not be able to seek another presidential term himself. But increasingly, it seems, Bill Clinton is becoming a force in the 2004 campaign. After being sidelined in 2000 by a vice president wanting to distance himself from his mentor's moral failings, Mr. Clinton is taking an increasingly active role in the current presidential race. He's strategizing with party leaders at closed-door...

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- Slick Willie doesn't fit. Bill Clinton was more like Velcro, a president who couldn't escape controversy, said Margaret Scranton, a University of Arkansas at Little Rock political science professor teaching the state's first college course devoted to Clinton. The class began Thursday evening at the university's administrative offices. "When we thought of Reagan, we often thought of Teflon," Scranton told the class of 25 students. "But I have often used the term Velcro to describe what happens to Bill Clinton," she said. "All of us know that Clinton is a controversial president. ... People have...

Clinton is eager to tell his story Says writing memoirs is a way to 'come to terms' By Bob Minzesheimer USA TODAY Bill Clinton, who's getting nearly $12 million for his memoirs, says everyone eventually should write his or her life story. ''Everybody talks about how terrible this book-writing is.

Remember, he was only impeached over some "oral-anal contact". (See the footnotes Clinton lovers)

Bill Clinton got more than he bargined for when he ate at Palm Beach's famed Bice restaurant with James Carville and 10 others last weekend. A pal asked Clinton to meet his female dining companions in the garden, and Clinton complied, shaking hands with one while the other put on her lipstick. When the lipstick-applier was finished, she "squealed loudly" and declared her willingness to give Clinton oral sex, according to New York magazine. Clinton "jusy stood there for like a minute. But then all these people at the other tables broke out in hysterics. Bill just went inside and...
