Hillary Clinton because of the convergence of events that were happening at the time. It was a few days after the Monica Lewinsky story broke. I fully expected Mrs. Clinton to cancel. She was a scorned woman whose husband had just been exposed for cheating. [The exchange] went extraordinarily well and resulted in the often quoted "vast right-wing conspiracy" interview.

It would be almost inconceivable at just about any other university, after all, for administrators to help fund one huge pre-game, and to support two in a single week would be exceptional to say the least. The fact of the matter is, however, that we’re not talking about just any weekend. The Harvard-Yale game comes to Cambridge once every...
