Words are George Bush's enemies; President-elect Bill Clinton showed today that they can be his friends.

Whatever one thought of the substance of what he said -- and there was plenty of room for argument, because he stated his view bluntly in some cases -- the man from Little Rock left not the slightest doubt that the White House will get its syntax tightened when he moves in on Jan. 20.

The unmistakable conclusion is that established institutions of our society, most dismayingly the judiciary, still do not get it.
