President Clinton delivered a low key address emphasizing personal responsibility and a bipartisanship tone. He called for an era beyond big government while urging Congress to end petty bickering and extreme partisanship to advance his policy goals.
The piece argues Bill Clinton's second inaugural address was deliberately shorter and more modest in ambition and quality than past presidents. It notes strong topics were touched but overall impact and eloquence lag behind Lincoln and Kennedy, with emphasis on the ceremonial meaning of peaceful power transfer.
An internal memo outlines premium White House experiences for high rollers, including stays in Lincoln and Queens bedrooms, meals with the First Family, private jazzed tours, golf with President Clinton, Air Force One rides, and photo opportunities. Prices run from tens to hundreds of thousands, with checks payable to the DNC.
Hartford column rails against DC Comics redefining Superman as an energy creature with new powers and no Clark Kent identity. The piece decries the shift as corporate trend chasing, arguing the icon should remain a cultural steadfast rather than a marketable tool amid louder critiques of modern capitalism.
