In My Life, Clinton’s thousand-page autobiography, there’s not one word about spotted owls or the timber summit. It’s as if Air Force One never stopped in Portland or flew over Forks en route to Vancouver, B.C., for a meeting with Boris Yeltsin. Gorton is not the least bit surprised: “Bill Clinton could be intensely engaged and participate intelligently in a conversation on almost any subject and then forget it totally an hour later if it wasn’t an element in his own agenda. “I still find it curious that the one politician in Washington who fought for the people in Grays Harbor—and for eastern Washington to preserve the dams—was an Ivy League lawyer in Seattle who neither hunts nor fishes nor cares much for long walks in the woods. I believe that the Americans most neglected by the establishment are not racial minorities but the working and middle classes in rural and small-city America. . . .The people whose predecessors built America and whose children still fight its wars deserve a voice, and that is what I have tried to provide.”
29 | Back at Bat “Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona.”—George F. Will In honoR of his sweAt equity, Gorton has a seat in the owner’s box at Safeco Field, home to the Seattle Mariners since 1999 and one of the great baseball venues in America. That’s as good as it gets for someone who became a certifiable baseball nut around age 8. If Gorton hadn’t stepped up to the plate once again in 1991, the Mariners might be in Tampa Bay as yet another offspring of Seattle’s shotgun marriage with Major League Baseball. The team Gorton put together to save big-league baseball for Seattle a second time included old friends like John Ellis, the CEO of Puget Sound Power & Light, and new high-tech millionaires like Chris Larson, one of the young software wizards at Microsoft. The real savior, however, was nearly 5,000 miles away. Though they had never met, Hiroshi Yamauchi, the architect of Nintendo’s emergence from domestic playing card producer to global power in the burgeoning world of video games, was grateful to Gorton. The senator had prodded U.S. Customs and the FBI to crack down on the counterfeiters who were pirating Donkey Kong, the game that took America by storm. By 1992, Nintendo owned 80 percent of a $6 billion global market. Its American division, overseen by Yamauchi’s talented son-inlaw, Minoru Arakawa, had 1,400 employees at its headquarters in the Seattle suburb of Redmond, where Microsoft and McCaw Cellular were also in the chips. From his seat on the Senate Commerce Committee Gorton was a tireless protector of their intellectual property rights. His fan club, in other words, included some of the wealthiest people on Earth. 1 when Jeff sMuLyAn Bought the struggling Mariners in 1989, he described himself as cocky. By 1991 he professed to feeling naïve, although many suspected ulterior motives. The bottom line was that he was losing 268
