A friend of mine just informed me that you can now send e-mail to President Clinton using the address president@whitehouse.gov. Of course, I was a little skeptical, since, after all, does the President really have time to read all those emails? Of course not; but nonetheless, it's real! But I still think he can't read all those. More likely, he has some staff people reading them over, and they send him a summary at the end of the day. Here's what a typical encapsulation of the day's email might look like.
