FIRST COMPROMISES

TIME White House correspondentMichael Duffysays Clinton "was unexpectedly humble, and seems quite committed to rethinking various aspects of his presidency. Not the whole thing, but he's made clear he's going to try to move to the center." Clinton said today that he'll work with Republicans to secure a presidential line-item veto -- something traditional Democrats, if not Clinton, have opposed. Ironically, Duffy notes, the president virtually agreed to pursue with the GOP his early campaign promise, a middle-class tax cut.Post your opinion to theWashingtonbulletin board
