President Clinton is of no known royal ancestry. Even if his claim of a descent from Robert I of France were true, in 1992 he beat George Bush, whose known royal ancestry is much more prominent than Mr. Clinton's.

...jolliest A student at a Seven Sisters college. For A Place in the World (Columbia) she's written tunes that are instantly likable--so shoot her--and reminiscent of early Beatles or rollicking Motown. But she twists the old feelings even as she exploits them. The perky beat and ersatz-inane lyrics of I Want to Be Your Girlfriend tell you that even for mature women in the '90s, love can feel like a teen crush, pulsing to a Buddy Holly-style jingle...
