Unrequited Love

The Natural: The Misunderstood Presidency of Bill Clinton, by Joe Klein (Doubleday, 230 pp., $22.95)

JOE Klein’s latest book is wrong from the very beginning. Usually a title page does not trigger an argument, but who can agree even with the title of this maudlin and boring memoir of the Clinton years? There was nothing remotely natural about Clinton and his presidency, nor was he misunderstood. In fact, with the possible exception of Klein himself, Americans quite clearly understood his lack of character by the end of his torrid terms in office.
