If power does not corrupt, it certainly ages. The bright young things in the Obama administration will never look as good as they do now. Remember when Clinton's minions were just as fresh-faced?
The historical precedent hasn't escaped profilers of modern celebrity. A gallery in the New York Times Magazine of 52 incoming Obama staffers echoes Vanity Fair's 1993 Annie Liebowitz photo layout of the Little Rock oddballs, Democratic upstarts, and Washington insiders who surrounded Bill Clinton. Note the parallels:
