Upstairs at the White House

摘要

It's a room that's definitely not on the White House tour. High on the third floor of the family quarters, the "Book Room" is a cozy hideaway, open to the First Family, staffers and the president's houseguests. Next door is a small office where Mrs. Clinton worked much of last year writing her new book. Last August, a personal aide, Carolyn Huber, was going to pick up some magazine clippings in the Book Room when she noticed a stack of computer printouts that hadn't been there a few days earlier. She stuck them in a box, took them to her office in the East Wing and forgot all about them. Then, earlier this month, she was unpacking the carton—and gave a start when she realized what they were. She immediately called Mrs. Clinton's lawyer. Then she called her own lawyer.
