From Times Staff and Wire Reports

White House Senior Advisor George Stephanopoulos says he’s ready “to grow up” and move on to other professional challenges if President Clinton wins a second term. Stephanopoulos, among the group of youthful “War Room” strategists who helped get Clinton elected in 1992, said his five years of working for the president are starting to wear him down. “In some ways, it’s just physical,” the 35-year-old told the New Yorker magazine. “I went to a doctor who told me that maybe an analogy is to a commodities trader, who also can only do it till about this age. He just says, basically, that your nerves get burned out.”
