THE WEEK, Page 16NATIONGhost of Jackson
Bill Clinton plans a people's Inaugural celebration, in his
own fashion
While Bill Clinton has yet to be seen carrying his own garment
bag, a la Jimmy Carter, he seems just as eager to prove that he
is Just Folks. Dubbed "American Reunion -- New Beginnings,
Renewed Hope," the five-day Inaugural festivities begin on Jan.
17 with the Clintons and Gores riding their tried-and-true bus
caravan from Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello, in Virginia
to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. Inaugural organizers
have invited the general public to join the motorcade.
And everyone's welcome to that evening's "American Gala,"
where the price of admission to the outdoor celebration will be a
can of soup, blankets or clothing for the poor and homeless. In
the tradition of Andrew Jackson, who ran in 1828 as a man of the
common people, the Clintons will throw a reception for the
public the day after they move into the White House. Taxpayers
can only hope the Clintons have better luck than Old Hickory.
His guests broke the furniture and spat tobacco juice in the
corners.
