>There was an excellent piece about Bill Clinton in The New Yorker a few weeks ago. He said the one true regret he has about his Presidency is not doing more about Rwanda. He said he was distracted by other issues but doesn't excuse himself for that reason. He has been going back to Africa regularly since leaving office and trying to atone for his failure to act at the time.

I suppose it depended on how you define genicide

>His pet projects are hunger and AIDS and he has raised a heck of a lot of money for both causes, working closely with Bill and Melinda Gates among others.

>The reporter tagged along with Clinton for several weeks and must have been completely worn out at the end of it. The man has superhuman energy and appears to hardly ever sleep. He routinely stays up most or all night discussing policy, politics, and every other topic under the sun. One of his favorite pastimes is playing hearts or a game he learned from Steven Spielberg called Oh Heck. He sleeps maybe 2 or 3 hours and goes straight to work when the plane lands. Even for a politician he truly loves pressing the flesh and meeting people. "Ah love this place!" he will exclaim. His energy, curiosity, and mental bandwidth are in marked contrast to his successor.

And you could fit your week's groceries in the bags under his eyes :-)
