- Clinton's Other Run
-
- To the Editor:
-
- In a Nov. 27 news article, you characterize President-elect
- Clinton's race time of 24:16 in a five-kilometer run as "fair
- at best" and a "mediocre jog." His pace per mile was 7 minutes
- and 50 seconds. I have been running for 20 years, and can
- assure you that a 7:50 pace is quite respectable and certainly
- not mediocre. To paraphrase Vice President Quayle, "if Bill
- Clinton can govern as well as he jogs, we'll be all right."
