Thankfully, Greer spares us a one-dimensional portrait of a strong, self-sufficient woman: she exposes Anne's vulnerabilities, too. She accepts that on some level Anne yearned for her husband and feared his infidelity.

More than 300 people have packed into a wood-paneled room inside UAW Local 74, a modest brick union hall around the corner from a vast John Deere plant.

It's enough to make you tear your hair out." Soon she's pressing the argument that her husband is the most electable candidate, the one who will help other Democrats win in the South and West-and she's managing to attack Clinton while defending her. "I want to be perfectly clear: I do not think the hatred against Hillary Clinton is justified. I don't know where it comes...
...pursues the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, Hillary Clinton has done her best to carve out an identity separate from that of her larger-than-life husband. But when she takes the stage Thursday night at the Ed Sullivan Theater for her seventh appearance on Late Night With David Letterman, Clinton, like virtually every media-savvy candidate these days, is simply following a trail blazed by Bill Clinton 15 years...
