HITE PLAINS, N.Y. - Looking ahead to life after the White House, President Clinton has changed his voter registration from Arkansas to Westchester County. The county Board of Elections added Clinton and daughter Chelsea, 20, to the voter rolls Wednesday, a week after receiving their registration forms. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is running for the Senate from New York, registered there in December, shortly after the Clintons bought a $1.7 million house in Chappaqua. (AP)
Gore strategist expects campaign to get nasty
LOS ANGELES - Dorchester's own Michael Whouley, one of Al Gore's top strategists, addressing the Massachusetts delegation in what he called the ''Florian Hall of Beverly Hills,'' indicated that the campaign could turn rough in coming weeks as both sides scour each others' records.
For Gore, that will mean focusing on George W. Bush's environmental policies, an area where Whouley believes the Texas governor is ''vulnerable.''
''Politics,'' Whouley said, ''is a contact sport.''
Dukakis: Bush knew '88 tax vow wouldn't be kept
Michael Dukakis said that in the waning days of the 1988 presidential race, when it was clear the Massachusetts governor was going to lose to George Bush's no-new-taxes pledge, the two had a telling conversation.
Dukakis, in Los Angeles yesterday, said then-Vice President Bush knew all along he would have to raise taxes, it's just that he knew not to try it the first year, because taxpayers would rebel.
''Honesty, character and integrity,'' Dukakis said facetiously in his trademark lilt. ''That's what this campaign is about.''
A special birthday song for Lieberman's son
Sheryl Crow sang to an A-list crowd in a club just off the Sunset Strip Wednesday night, but one person there was extra special: Joseph Lieberman's son, Matthew.
In her best Marilyn Monroe imitation, Crow crooned a breathy ''Happy Birthday, Mr. Vice President's son.''
Matthew, who is turning 33, is one of Lieberman's two children from his first marriage.
DeNucci gets a kiss from a movie legend
Move over, Humphrey Bogart. When Massachusetts state Auditor Joe DeNucci met Lauren Bacall at a celebrity party Tuesday, he gave the 75-year-old movie legend a playful kiss.
DeNucci's wife, Barbara, standing next to him, didn't seem to mind.
''It was Joey and Bacall instead of Bogey and Bacall,'' Barbara said.
Perhaps that was because Mrs. DeNucci was enjoying herself so much at the party, hosted by Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife, Kennedy cousin Maria Shriver. About 600 people attended the $150-per-ticket party, which was held at the couple's home. (AP)
