Wednesday june 22,1994author defends portrayal of Clinton by Peter a. Brown Scripps Howard news service Washington a the author of the Book on president Clinton a first 18 months in office that portrays him As poorly organized and Short tempered said monday that his sources say they Hope Clinton learns from it. Bob Woodward whose Book the Agenda was released earlier this month said he interviewed More than 250 sources for the Book. Virtually All of them Are Clinton supporters. It chronicles Clinton a Effort to enact an economic program once in office and in doing so breaking Many of the promises he made during his 1992 Campaign. A a number of people from the White a Duse have called me and said they hoped Clinton reads this because in Many ways it is the ultimate management consultant report. It explains real significant management problems he has a Woodward said in a lecture monday at the National archives. Woodward a Washington Post editor who 20 years ago helped uncover the watergate cover up that led to president Nixon s resignation in 1974, wrote his Book in a narrative style such As is commonly used in writing novels. Using that style he did not directly attribute information or quotes to a source but described Clinton a decision making and meetings and conversations that took place Between Clinton and senior aides Cabinet members and members of Congress. However none of those whose thoughts or words Are quoted or recounted in the Book has challenged the accuracy of his reporting. In the two weeks since the Book was published it has led to widespread Public comment about Clinton a temper tantrums and his inability to make decisions in a timely manner. The Book recounts Many of the presidents top political and government aides questioning his commitment to specific principles. For example Woodward quotes senior aide George Steph Nopoulos As describing Clinton As being like a a Kaleidoscope. That depending on the Angle you see him from you see a completely different picture. When you shift or Clinton shifts it changes  asked Why top Clinton aides would agree to help paint such a picture of the Man they serve Woodward said he did no to think it was a conscious Effort by those he interviewed.
