FROM THE PUBLISHER, Page 4
</hdr><body>
<p> The story of Bill Clinton's long march from the Governor's
mansion to within striking distance of the Oval Office is a
narrative with many threads. It is not solely about Clinton's
triumphs and falterings, strategies and dumb luck. To grasp
fully this remarkable odyssey requires an understanding of how
the successes and failures of political opponents both impeded
and abetted Clinton's journey. In short, it is a story
tailor-made for TIME magazine.
</p>
<p> From the start of the campaign season, chief political
correspondent Michael Kramer has monitored the ebb and flow of
the entire process. Senior writer Walter Shapiro, Washington
deputy bureau chief Margaret Carlson and contributor Laurence
Barrett also roamed widely, exploring the different candidacies.
As the Democratic race heated up, various bureau chiefs were
enlisted: Jordan Bonfante zeroed in on Jerry Brown's campaign,
Jon Hull tracked Bob Kerrey, and Sam Allis followed Paul
Tsongas, while Michael Riley scrutinized Clinton's Arkansas
record. In Washington, correspondent Nancy Traver kept tabs on
Tom Harkin.
</p>
<p> At the Democratic Convention in July, Shapiro joined
forces with associate editor Priscilla Painton to cover the
final months of Clinton's quest. Correspondent Elizabeth Taylor
took up the Al Gore watch, while Richard Woodbury followed Ross
Perot's on-again-off-again crusade. Through it all, White House
correspondents Michael Duffy and Dan Goodgame monitored the
Bush-Quayle campaign. And P.F. Bentley continued his exclusive
photographic coverage of the Governor. The result is more than
just Clinton's story. "You have to understand all those
campaigns to write insightfully about why Clinton has been so
successful," says senior editor Joelle Attinger, who helped
coordinate and deploy the troops.
</p>
<p> Managing editor Henry Muller used this space last week to
tell you about our objections to a Bush-Quayle television
commercial that centered on our April 20, 1992, cover showing
a negative photographic image of Bill Clinton. The use of that
cover was not authorized by TIME, nor did we sanction the
commercial's implicit message that we were taking sides in the
election. We asked the Bush-Quayle campaign to withdraw the ad,
and when they refused, we filed suit. Last week, in a hearing
before a federal judge in Washington, lawyers for the
Bush-Quayle campaign said the commercial had been withdrawn as
of Oct. 21 and would not be used again.
