ABSTRACT

Suggests that on issues ranging from the budget and taxes to the use of force in Bosnia, President Bill Clinton lately has seemed less a leader than an earnest oscillator. How the clarity of a presidential campaign built upon a simple call for change has now become the drift of a president without a cohesive plan; Why Clinton is caught in an eternal political conundrum.
