...their presence, he'd say, "I'm gay." There was no flaunting it. After all, he was a freshman at the University of Wyoming in the Cowboy State, a campus where real men were supposed to love football and all-night parties. Shepard, barely 5-ft. 2-in. tall and on a good day 105 lbs., preferred political debate and languages (German and Arabic) to the stereotypical masculine pursuits of his father's alma mater.

The exhibit, planned well before Clinton's troubles came to light, does not emphasize or explain the scandal in any more detail than it gives to the construction of toilet plumbing in Nuzi--the artifacts of which, also on display, are far larger and quite well-preserved...
