INTERVIEW WITH THE FIRST LADY
BY NARDI CAMPION, WELLESLEY ALUMNI MAGAZINE
Q -- and I did a little reading on what you had to
say about Wellesley, and heard a lot of good things. One of
the things you said, was, when you were at Wellesley as an
undergraduate, your philosophy was to bloom where you were
planted. My question is, are you blooming where you are
planted now?
MRS. CLINTON:
Q
Go on.
I 'feel like it.
Tell me about that.
MRS. CLINTON:
I feel very good about living here.
I enjoy some of the aspects of'it~ I love the opportunity to
meet people. I have learned so much about the way Washington
works for good and for ill. That is like a continuing
education course a~l the time. And I am so grateful that I
have had an opportunity to work on health care.
I just feel
nothing could have. been better for me than this particular
assignment.
Q
It's so exciting.
MRS. CLINTON:
It is.
It's thrilling. As hard as
it is, and as challenging as it is, it is thrillin~.
Q Well, now, when you were at Wellesley, you had
required Bible; right?
MRS. CLINTON:
Yes.
• . t
/
Q In fact, I think you had something to do with a
big unrequired.
MRS. CLINTON:' Yes, yes. Those were the days when
we all thought we should do away with required courses. NOw,
looking back on it from my vantage point of nearly 25 years,
I am very grateful I had all those required courses. And I
think taking Bible-was .one of the real extraordinary

educational experiences.
Q
Who taught you Bible?
MRS. CLI~TON: Clifford Green. He taught me -- I
had him all year long for both Old Testament, New Testament.
He was an extraordinary teacher.
I learned so much and had
an opportunity in that class to talk about things that now I
know are among the most important issues that anybody could
face in their life. But at the time, those of us.who were 18
and 19 thought, you know, we didn't necessarily have to spend
a whol~ year studying.
.
Q
You were well grounded in religion?
MRS. CLINTON:
I had an interest already in
religion.
I had an opportunity to do a lot of reading and
studying during high school about theology, all those issues.
It was very interesting to me.
It .was just a matter of
principle. But many of us felt that people should be able to
choose to take and not be required to. take.
Q Here in Washington, what church do you go to?
Are you affiliated with the Methodist church here?
MRS. CLINTON:
here in Washington.
Q
And you go there every Sunday when you are here?
MRS. CLINTON:
Q
Yes, the Foundry Methodist Church
When lam here or whenever
And Chelsea goes, too?
MRS. CLINTON: Yes, she goes to Youth Group.
In
fact, this morning she got up at the crack of dawn to go with
one of her friends from school because her friend's church, a
Presbyterian church, has a weekly breakfast before school for
teenagers. And it is so smart.
Because, you know, so many
kids that age have so many activities after school, they
can't possibly get everything in. This church has figured
out that kids really want to get together, they want to spend
time together. Chelsea left the house at 5:30 to be at the
breakfast at 6 a.m. And she was excited about it.
I thought
that was a great idea.
Q
And they do that every week?

MRS. 'CLINTON:
I don't want to say.

Because this is the first time she has gone, is today.
She
called home to ask me something about our plans. And she
loved it. She said:there were like 150 kids there six
o'clock in the mornlng from all the schools allover the
Washington area. They.feed both the kids that go to this

Now, where is Don Jones?
MRS. CLINTON:

Jersey.
Q
He is still .there?
MRS. CLINTON:
Q
Yes.
He had an impact on this nation; you know that?
MRS. CLINTON: Well, he certainly had an impact on
me. He is still there teaching in the religion and
philosophy department.
Q Speaking of things of the spirit, could you talk
a little about lessons from your father's death?
. MRS. CLINTON:
Q
Oh, gee.
Or maybe' you don't want

That's hatd, yes.

Q
I think death is subh a great teacher.
MRS. CLINTON: . Oh,' it is.
It's a great reminder.
That was really important. And'the time I had to spend there
in the hospital with my family and my father was clearly one
of the most important times I have ever had in my life. It
was wonderful because our whole family, not only was there
physically, but there in spirit together.
I didn't face so
many of the difficult issues that families sometimes face

when serious illness or death brings them together because
they haven't worked out some of the issues that kept them
apart as they were growing up. We didn't have any of that.
So it was such a joyous and fulfilling experience in the
midst of such pain.
Q What do you think -- what characteristics or
outlook you think you have inherited from him?
MRS. CLINTON: Oh, my father was a pragmatist. 'He
was tough-minded. He was not interested in any excuses from
anybody. And he kind of cocked a questioning eye toward
people who considered themselves. important, and always would
make the comment or ask the question that wouid kind of put
it all in perspective.
Q
He was a good Republican; right?
MRS. CLINTON: Lifelong. Absolutely.
Except for
Bill Clinton whom he went astray.
You know, when my father
first met Bill, he liked him in spite of himself.
I think
that's the experience many fathers of ,daughters have when
they finally meet the person that their daughter intends to
marry.
We had great political discussions all the time on
visits home. And then ~hen Bill started getting into
political life, my father would come down to Arkansas and
stay with us and gradually kind of worked with him and do
things for him. And he always explained it. He said, "Well,
you are not only married to my daughter, but you got good
sense." Which I thought was kind of the crowning compliment
he could pay to any person in political life.
Q
How is your mother doing?
MRS. CLINTON:
kind of up and down.
She is doing all right.
It's been
Q I called Lisa once and asked her if I could do

MRS. CLINTON: Absolutely.
I think she is doing well.
Q
I am real proud of her.
It's hard.
MRS. CLINTON: It is.
It's lonely. The loneliness
is so difficult, she tells me. They had been married for
something like 50 years, .and it becomes part of your life.
It is so hard to replace.
Q How do you find any down time, or what do you do
for a little down time?
MRS. CLINTON:
Q
Oh, take long walks.
But where can you walk?
MRS. CLINTON: Well, sometimes we drive somewhere
and get out and walk. Bicycle rides. Watch movies. Read
for recreation.
I've ~inished the James Carrol, Madonna Red,
that you gave me.
Q
Oh, good.
That's a good thriller.
MRS. tLINTON:
Q
It was a great thriller.
I don't know why it's not a movie.
MRS. CLINTON:
You know, that was the first thing I
thought of, after I finished reading it, is that it was one
of the most well constructed novels for a movie that I had
finished in a long time.
Visit with my friend.
One of the great things
about living in the White House, we have a well situated
place of refuge and respite, people who come through and come
over for a meal, or spend nights.
Q Speaking of entertainment.
I brought you
something else. This is on loan.
Have you ever seen this
take-off on Watergate?
MRS. CLINTON:
Q
No.
It will knock you dead.

Q
It's so funny.
MRS. CLINTON:
Good, good.
Q Larry Gilbert did it for television. It hasn't
been made into a VCR, but a friend of ours, who knows him,
got that for me. And I thought I would lend it to you.
MRS. CLINTON:
Q
Oh, boy, it's good.
It's the take-off -
MRS. CLINTON:
I like. that.
I watch a lot of
videos as well as use the movie theater there at the White
House.
Q Get Lisa or somebody to drop it in the mail to
me eventually. No hurry about it.
MRS. CLINTON:
I am coming up to Hanelgram
(phonetic).
I'll get it watched and bring it up back with
me.
Q
Weil, you don't have to worry about that.
MRS .. CLINTON:
Oh, it's going to be fun.
Q' How are you feeling about the way the health
thing is going?
MRS. CLINTON:
I feel very good.
I think the
reaction has been generally positive.
Most of the principal
players in this health care system have been more positive
than negative.
I think the Congress is taking it very
seriously.
I thought one of the best things in ,the last
several' months is to see how the Congress has responded to
this with a seriousness of purpose that I think is very
reassuring to the country.
Everywhere we go around, to travel, to talk about
this -- I was in Pittsburgh yesterday, I was in west Virginia
today, I will be upstate New York tomorrow. The response
from people is just terrific. Very enthusiastic. And people
are also asking good questions. And that's why -- I have a
copy of the book to give you.
Q
Thank you.

MRS. CLINTON:' I am trying to get as many people to
get engaged as I can, because once people reaily learn what
we ar~ doing, the support goes way up.
If they only know a
little bit about it, they are easy prey for the
misinformation campaign.
Q Is there any way to simplify it so people pan
understand -

Yes, that'~ what this book is fo~.

explains what people will pay, and tries to give it as clear
a description as possible.

Even I can read that.
Yes, that's
MRS. CLINTON:
I wanted it so that I could in good
conscience understand it and give it to everybody so that
they could know right off the bat what was in it.
Q Well, let's get back to Wellesley.
It's hard
for me to_keep remembering that's what I write for. What are
the things about your Wellesley education that have been most
useful to you?
MRS. CLINTON: Oh, gee.
I still think going to a
women's college and having the opportunity for four years to
study uninterruptedly, to play whatever role each of us chose
in the life of'the college, instilled the sense of confidence
that is just unmatched.
I was talking with a friend of mine who has just
left being the president of Randolph-Macon to go· to be one of
the chief executives in the new administration at Yale, Lin~a
(inaudible). And she told me, when I saw her at Yale ·two
weeks ago, that some recent research just completed, that
Randolph-Macon and some other women's colleges had
participated in -- not Wellesley -- show that even today
women who go to women's colleges, by and large emerge with
more confidence in their abilities, a.greaterwillingness to
take on graduate school, law school, medical school, .in a

will find in even good co-ed schools.
I don't thlnk you can
find that uniform level of confidence that seems to infect
women at women's colleges at comparably good co-ed schools
even still.
But for me, back in the '60s, it certainly was a
posed question.
I don't know what I would have done or what·
my experience would have been had I gone to a co-ed school.
But I just have every confidence that I got the very best
possible opportunity to develop my skills and talents at
Wellesley, and I am very grateful.
Q I know you have talked about, what's his name,
Alan Shekter (phonetic). Are there other professors or other
courses that stand out?
MRS. CLINTON: Well, (inaudible) Stratton, I
thought you were going to say, he was my political science
professor my freshman year.- He was terrific. He gave me a
big boost of confidence.
.
Barbara Greene, whom I had my sophomore year for
the international relations cour~e, w~s one of the finest
teachers I have ever had or heard about.
She was gold.
She
left Wellesley shortly after that because her husband's job
changes.
But I can't say enough about her.
And Alan Shekter was terrific in encouraging us to
think and to breaking down stereotypes.
Bill Phibbs, who went from Wellesley to be the
president of Puget Sound, was one of my favorites.
He and I
disagreed often over speciflc issues, but he was always
challenging us to work hard or think deeper. And we had one
. of the memorable classes that I recall. We had a seminar,
and he really just pushed us to justify our positions and
argue and stand our ground, and to give in when we couldn't
make the effective argument.
I thought that was great
training.
I just have a raft of teachers that I remember with
great fondness and respect.
Q I told Lisa this morning I had an interview with
Linaa Greene, (inaudible) Times.

could do something from the Greene house to the white House.

Q
I sure do.
MRS. CLINTON: I'll never forget being in the old,
what is now the student union, that sort of red building down
by the lake by (inaudible).
Q
Schneider.
MRS. CLINTON: Schneider, that's right. Being in
there when it was a pretty ordinary place before they fancied
it all up and made it so pretty. And I was down there having
a cup of coffee. Dean Frish came in and sat with several of
us; told us the story, which has aiways stuck in my mind,
about how on one of her travels years and years before -- 30
or 40, I think it was -- she somehow was caught in a blizzard
in Montana, and she was on a bus. And they herded everyone
into this bus station. And there were not very many people
there. But her eye was caught by this young mother with two
small children in the terrible blizzard, awful conditions, no
food, nothing to eat.
And Dean Frish told us.
She said, "I sat and
watched that young woman, and suddenly I knew she had gone to
Wellesley." And so she told ~e that she went over and
·introduced herself to this young woman.
And sure enough, she
had gone to Wellesley. And Dean Frish looked at us and said,
"You can always tell a Wellesley woman. II And we all felt
like, oh, my gosh.
And so from that time we would look at each other
and say, would you be picked out by Dean Frish in the middle
of a blizzard in a deserted bus station somewhere in Northern
Montana? Act like it. I'll never forget that.
Q Well, Hillary, looking at your life as best I
could, the turning point that interests me -- turning points
are, I guess, what life is about anyway.
But the one that
interests me the most is when you graduated from Yale and
decided to go to the Children's Defense Fund. And I wish
you'd talk a little -- I mean, you must have had lots of
opportunities to make lots of money.
MRS. CLINTON:
Q
I
was never interested in that.
Talk a little about your making that big
decision.

MRS. CLINTON: Well, I had worked for the
Children's Defense Fund when it was the Washington Research
project, before it became the Children's Defense Fund, as far
back as 1970. And I admired Mary Adleman (phonetic),
graduate of another women's college, Spelman. And I had felt
so strongly that what she was doing was the· most important
work that one could imagine. She graduated from Yale Law
School and use~ her law degree in the civil rights movement
in Mississippi. And then on behalf of poor people and
children. And it sounded like an exciting challenge that
would be fulfilling. And so I went to work with her.
And then came the impeachment inquiry opportunity.
So I moved on to that. That was' such a hlstoric occasion.
But the Children's Defense Fund, once I had started
working Mary, I just never quit being involved in that
project.
I would visit with her, I would go to Washington to
see her to help out in ways that I could while I waa in law
school. And I just loved being part of what she was going to
do.

And recently I have had some funny experiences with some'

reporters and TV personalities that press very, very hard to
have her involved in an interview of some kind. And we have
said, no, there are some things that are appropriate. And
most of it is just not approptiate for a child.

say, "We agree with you.
You are doing the right thing.
Don't expose your child to US. II It'..s just fascinating.
In a
perverse way they are.reinforcing,. because we knew as parents
we were doing the right thing.
But even for people in the
media to acknowledge it, albeit (oratively)???, because they
are trying always, as part of their job, to get as much as
they can, just proves my point to me personally that children
don't have to be in the public limelight when their parents
are, however that happens. And they deserve to have their
own childhood. They deserve to become whoever God meant them
to be. And that cannot happen if they are pushed and pulled
from one point to another.

Q
One more question, Lisa.
SPEAKER:
Okay.
QJust say a little bit about Bill's being able to
speak when the wrong speech is on, so I can write about -- I
feel that's not been written enough about.
MRS. CLINTON:
Q
Oh, Nardi, that was so (inaudible).
Were you aware?
MRS. CLINTON: You know, I knew something wasn't
quite right because -- but I didn't know what it was until
after the speech. When he got up on the. platform, after the
·standing ovation, and he walked into the chamber, I saw him
turn around and say something to Al Gore. Then I saw Vice·
President Gore motion to somebody. And the person came over,
and there was a whispered conference, and then that person
left.
Q
You could tell.
MRS. CLINTON:
I could feel that.
But it could
have been anything. It could have been the President asking
for a glass of water.
It could have been the President
saying, "There is a suspicious-looking person. 1I I didn't
know what was going on.
When he first got started, I could tell that he
wasn't·quite as warmed up as I knew he felt about the speech.
But then he got his rhythm.
And he got going, and it was a
great speech, and it was delivered beautifully.

And he told me later what had happened, how the
wrong speech was on there. That was distracting enough.
Then, when'they began to ~ake the corrections and -- what had
happened is the military runs all the communications system
for the President.
It's a whole separate division.
It's not
really under the White House.
It's under the military. And
they do an excellent job under most circumstances.
But what happened, is, that they had never erased
from the teleprompter the speech back in February.
So when
they called up the President's speech, they didn't know that
they weren't calling up the speech they had just entered, but
instead calling up the speech that was still in the memory.
That was bad enough.
So he just proceeded -- he had a written text in
front of him, but he proceeded from that plus,his memory,
plus his commitment to the issue.
He had worked on it so
hard. He said even.more distracting was, in order to get to
the riew speech, they had to ~ras~ the other speech through.
So here he is trying to concentrate on his speech and trying
to deliver it to the entire' chamber, which means he wants to
move and,look at the entire chamber, and rolling in front of
his eyes are all of these words which is incredibly
distracting. He kept his concentration, he was able to keep
going.
I have always 'said about my husband, he is not only
the smartest person I have ever met, he is' the best in an
emergency or a crisis that I have ever met.
Ever.
Q There are not many people in the whole world who
could have done that, if any.
MRS. CLINTON: He has an ability to immediately get
down to whatever needs to be done when the pressure is on.
I
have always known that about him.
And that is one more
example for the whole world to see.
Q I have been really fed' up with the press because
I thought it was a really great story.
It was all
parenthetical -

MRS. CLINTON:
I think part of t~e problem, to
understand this 'perspective, is that my husband is so low key
in most encounters. , He is so genuinely open to people that
he makes a lot of things, which are very hard, look easy. So
he doesn't -- this is the wife speaking -- he doesn't get the
credit that nearly any other person would get. Because he
can do things and do it in a sort of graceful way without
drawing a lot of attention to the underlying difficulty. So
I don't think people sometimes give him the credit for it.
So, gee, Bill Clinton got ~p, gave'a speech largely
from memory. But it was one of the most important speeches
given in the united states by a president in the last 30
