is icrlyew oue d. anetrct s chasoft goon torsvet n china, that clinton after they become late-night phone buddies isn't just to talk abouforeign policy. he wano ta abo ht orze d htose istm. in ngp emriind doing. of course the president's time is the most scarce and precious than he has. he wanted to ow if he was using up well. and th first month of the esidcy hwas o. hwa cngon s doo hhke t nyse being back in the game but he says 20 odd years later this is still an impossible challenge. >> when we interviewed clion abouthishe sd onof moriposiofig prens leteo n hant a fo n imrh9. xohad just gone to russia. russia was undergoing huge change. he had gone n eaa etsi ths ofm. he oi icn italnnp in ed letter. but they asked clinton if we could have been in to receive anything now but he said that he otwsoysbe. ai'samg er haad mr d uosoinom do you kn? he said a reread it every year.
