Radio and television correspondents, members of Congress and the Cabinet and others gathered at this annual dinner. Walter Cronkite presented the Joan Shorenstein Barone award to Michel McQueen for her story on Representative James Longley, a Republican freshman from Maine. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and President Bill Clinton spoke humorously about Washington politics. President Clinton mentioned several humorous bumper stickers for the 1996 presidential campaign. He also challenged journalists to continue to report events aggressively, yet fairly. Don Imus, a New York radio show host known for his irreverent humor spoke after President Bill Clinton. He made many humorous, occasionally coarse, jokes about journalists and politicians in attendance and the president and first lady, and especially about Whitewater. close
