...Bill Clinton's boyhood home of Hope, Arkansas, they sell a postcard showing a picture of his grammar school class -- Bill's shy, boyish face unmistakable. On the back of the card, the fine print reports that young Bill was so smart that the other kids used to go over to his house "just to watch him think."
