"I kept a diary during our White House years, and I have drawn upon it often in this book. I experience the world through my intuitions and feelings, and you'll find out a lot about those in these pages. My mother used to say, βPlay the hand thatβs dealt you,β and that is what I have always tried to do. And this, for better or worse, is how it seemed to me."
