If hitting that mark and winning the game were the only objectives on this night at Soldier Field, Dempsey might have done enough right there.

The evidence of the 100 Days suggests that Bill Clinton is off to an energetic but quite bumpy start. He took office as an outsider and man of the people. On his better days he does shake up a city fixed in often antique styles and institutions of power. But on other occasions, he himself looks more like an old-fashioned, run-of-the-mill Democrat. No one doubts his formidable mind or capacity for absorbing detail; but at times it appears as if he is trying to do too much too soon-and all at the same time-stretching himself far too thin....
