...tour was Hillary's most public moment since last January, when scandal enveloped the White House and the nation saw a darkly defiant First Lady rising to her husband's defense against a "vast, right-wing conspiracy." The reception she received last week confirmed what the polls are showing: that her popularity is near its all-time high, with approval ratings almost equaling those of the President...
...proclaim your love for democracy and self-determination in the form of support of a small Asian nation. And it's another thing actually to respect the people themselves.

Ever since she dumped her self-promoting lawyer, who seemed to escort her around town in part to stay in the pictures, she has traveled incognito, and even spent the occasional quiet weekend in New York City. She still puts her telephone through daily workouts, calling her attorneys and advisers around the clock, and she's taken up knitting to distract herself from the endless talk shows about her case.
