GRAPEVINE, Page 19BATTENING THE HATCHES IN ARKANSAS
By JANICE CASTRO/Reported by Wendy Cole
Bill Clinton likes to say his critics simply do not know
him well enough. Now he's taking pains to make sure those who
know him best take a kindly view. BETSEY WRIGHT, his former
chief of staff, has left a fellowship at Harvard's Kennedy
School for a new assignment as Clinton's spin doctor -- in
Arkansas. Clinton has been battered by critical stories in the
national press, and some have been echoed in local papers.
Wright has been barraging local reporters with faxes and phone
calls, claiming the national papers are Arkansas bashers that
often get their facts wrong. The strategy seems to be working.
Some longtime home-state critics are starting to pull their
punches.
