During meetings on the Hill, Senate leaders discussed health-care reform with Clinton -- Hillary Rodham Clinton, that is. Ms. Clinton (with Senate majority leader George Mitchell) will shepherd the President's plan through Congress. She earned points by saying that she will listen to those who back other reform models...
...week after her husband's Inauguration, Hillary Rodham Clinton is nibbling a salad in the Manhattan apartment of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. On the face of it, the two First Ladies could not seem more different.

Others, more justifiably, may mistrust her because of her political agenda, which is different from the one on which her husband was narrowly elected. Hillary Rodham Clinton is a powerful Washington figure who is democratically unaccountable and can neither be fired nor impeached. That's enough to give anyone pause...
