Letter from Al

Dear Rusty,

You know what? I’m not sure you missed much by not coming to the Inaugural festivities. In the first place, what could possibly match the 1992 celebration: me and Tip doing our own “Bring in ‘Da Noise, Bring in ‘Da Funk” at the MTV bash, Bill warbling away on the sax, and HRC still a few hours away from identifying the White House Travel Office as the first place to begin reinventing government-you know, back then we had a sense that the country was turning a corner.
