Those who vilify Hillary overlook the fact that she was the first of the baby-boom generation to become First Lady. Like thousands of American women, she went to college in the mid-1960s not to find a husband but to find herself. And unlike Barbara Bush or Jacqueline Kennedy, she was unwilling to bask in the reflected glory of her husband. Rather, she constantly tested the limits of her intelligence and abilities to make a meaningful contribution to her country. DAVID M. PETROU Washington...
Senator Clinton still doesn't seem to understand why some of us supported the impeachment of her husband.

Perhaps Senator Clinton did not intend for us to learn much about...
...particularly annoyed by Joe Klein's commentary on Hillary Clinton [IN THE ARENA, June 16]. Reading her memoir as some sort of objective historical document is absurd.

I understand it is easier to focus on Hillary's ever changing hairstyle than to accept her as an intellectual and motivating force in her own right. But Klein could at least have acknowledged that she has had the courage to move forward in public life after a harrowing media storm that would have...
DIED. SIR DENIS THATCHER, 88, graceful, independent-minded husband of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher; in London. Often satirized as a comic, golf-obsessed gin swiller, the retired oil executive handled his job as the First Mate of Britain's first female Prime Minister with aplomb, happily trailing behind his wife in public yet privately acting as a loyal consort and critical influence. He was, he once said, the most "shadowy husband of all time...
