1: Political advisor and gay activist, DAVID MIXNER. His new book, "Stranger Among Friends" (Bantam Books), is a memoir of the 1992 Clinton campaign and life inside the Clinton White House. MIXNER was pivotal in getting then-Governor Clinton the support of gay voters and was hopeful that the Democratic victory would expand civil rights to gays and lesbians. With Clinton's watered-down support of gays in the military and recent rejection of gay marriage, MIXNER has become disillusioned with the administration, and his book reflects this. MIXNER has worked on over 75 political campaigns and is currently the president of DBM Associates, a corporate strategic planning firm.
