Time Senior Editor Nancy Gibbs opening one of the magazine's news stories, March 2, 1998:

In the gaudy mansions of Clinton's mind there are many rooms with heavy doors, workroom and playrooms, room stuffed with trophies, rooms to stash scandals and regrets. He walks lightly amid the ironies of his talents and behavior, just by consigning them to different cubbies of his brain. It's an almost scary mind, that of a multitasking wizard who plays hearts while he talks on the phone with a head of state, who sits through a dense briefing on chemical weapons intently doing a crossword puzzle, only to take reporters' questions hours later and repeat whole sections of the briefing word for word.
