ONE GROUP that ought to be happy about the Clinton moving into the White House is booksellers.
News stories have described the president-elect's reading habits, which are voracious and varied. Throughout the campaign, he kept two books going at all times, one policy-oriented and one fiction. A Washington Post story on the subject noted that the Clintons like to socialize with their favorite authors and suggested that Baltimore's prize-winning historian Taylor Branch, an old friend, ought to "dust off his tuxedo."
The president-elect is not the only bookworm in the family. During her tour of the family's living quarters with Barbara Bush, Hillary Clinton was reported to be far less interested in decorating possibilities than in trying to decide where the family will be able to install enough shelves to house their enormous collection of books.
