This article discusses the myriad differences between United States President-elect Bill Clinton and British Prime Minister John Major. It is said that President-elect Clinton bears no grudge against Prime Minister Major for wanting former U.S. President George Bush to stay president. Of course, they say, the Prime Minister had no hand in sending Tory party planners across the water to advise Bush on how to do an electoral Major. British damage-limitation experts said that the President-elect is sincere when he says he has no time to see the British Prime Minister in the U.S. at the end of the week. And of course the special relationship is still, well, special enough-though these days most Foreign Office mandarins shrink from uttering that tiredest of diplomatic cliches.
