In the big Vanity Fair piece on Bill Clinton (and his “very small life” as he refers to his existence), there’s this, regarding a “pull aside” Clinton had with a reporter on particular post-presidency day:
They chatted a few moments about a mutual friend; batted why Bush seemed to be adopting the AIDS cause as his own (“They may be a little competitive with us.”), then got down to the long, hard slog that was writing his book…
What competition? This ain’t a legacy race, it’s peoples’ lives.
