From Times Staff and Wire Reports

President Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton toured the Secret Service training facility in suburban Maryland for almost four hours, reportedly delighting in demonstrations of how agents are trained to safeguard the first family’s lives. Tightly shielded from news cameras and reporters, agents showed the Clintons how they would respond to attack by rocket-propelled grenades. During the visit, three explosions were felt across the sprawling campus. The president, whose driving has been limited mostly to golf carts since he took office, executed an evasive 180-degree “J” turn in a Camaro, impressing onlookers, White House spokesman Joe Lockhart said.
