By the time we got to the capital, the public events of our inaugural, entitled “An American Reunion: New Beginnings, Renewed Hope,” were already under way. By this time, we had been following bin Laden for years. I told Albert Reynolds I would consider a visa if Adams had a formal invitation to speak in the United States. I spent most of the rest of the month in states I’d won in ’92.

I decided not to give them away. Al Gore was doing a lot on one good leg. the President should have acknowledged that his error was in saying “Read my lips” in the first place. But in the critical early months, both the staff and I would do a lot of on-the-job learning, and some of the lessons would prove to be quite costly.
