Nice piece on the inspired rookies working on Clark's campaign:
-"An actress, a Briton and a dot-com millionaire join other amateurs to give the retired general's run for the presidency a different feel...
-"Michael Sean Winters had no inkling of how to write a news release when he showed up," at Clark's campaign headquarters in Little Rock, the LAT's Eric Slater writes. "He had penned numerous articles on the Roman Catholic Church for such publications as The New Republic, but the only 'real job' he'd had was at D.C. landmark Kramerbooks & Afterwords, where, as restaurant manager, he hired refugees from the Balkan wars during the 1990s. As commander of NATO forces, Clark led the bombing campaign that ended the ethnic strife in Kosovo. 'Many of the people I hired, or someone in their family, would be dead' had the war continued, the 41-year-old Winters said. 'When [Clark] announced, I quit my job, took out a second mortgage on my house and came down here. I'm budgeted through Jan. 1 for my mortgage and 10 dinner parties.'"
