WHISPER OF THE DAY
Bill Clinton, handyman in chief
Sure, he was one of Arkansas's longest-serving governors and, yes, he was a rare two-term president, but it's only recently that Bill Clinton has felt completely fulfilled. What did it? He's finally getting his chance to play Home Improvement by renovating his Chappaqua, N.Y., home. And he has won weekend-warrior bragging rights by sinking a hole in one–without cheating. "He's done it all now," cheers spokeswoman Julia Payne. First, and most important, the golf. Clinton's one busy guy but finds time to swing. His ace came in Chicago on the windblown par-three, 145-yard sixth hole at Harborside International. Regular duffing has helped the infamous links cheat get his legal game into the 80s, and he has even bragged of shooting a 79. But this Tiger Woods is also playing TV's Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor, helping to bust out his kitchen and sunroom into a windowed great room. Auuughhhh, auuughhhh. And look for a putting green in the backyard. But as with every guy job, his place is so messy that he warned visitor Al Gore to dodge open paint cans.
