What surprised me the most is his writing: in late 1980s or early 90s, he came to New York and the New York Times published one of his writing or diary (?), which to me, like a grade school level. Guess a few decades changed all that. Or a good editor.

In the book, he often referred to, ‘my wife’, ‘Melinda’. Given the publication date so close to his announcement of divorcing, I wondered what was he thinking when he mentioned her often in the book?  Maybe it was a good partnership …

His indiscretion made me think an off broadway show, in the 90s, Jackie O. The background was Bill Clinton’s indiscretion with the blue dress and his impeachment trial. One of the actors said casually in the show, “the public isn’t interested in politicians sex life” which brought down the house.  It was a really good show but didn’t last long, unfortunately.

他的微软1986上市. 不久之后一次他来纽约 纽约时报刊登了他的一篇文章 惨不忍睹 好像小学生写的…
但是这本书写得不错. 几十年 写作能力突飞猛进了

书是今年二月出版的. 里面 ‘俺老婆’, ‘嬷琳达’ 处处可见 哎. 当年他决定娶老婆 是问过他那个铁杆女朋友并且得到她的祝福.

他近期的风风雨雨 让我想起90年代末的一个off Bway 百老汇戏剧 Jackie O. 那时克林顿正因为兰👗被弹劾. 喜剧挺好 高潮是一演员不经意的说了一句 “大众才不关心政客们的性生活” that, brought down the house.
