...first to trace the Rodhams back to a "raw and sparse" life in Scranton, Pa., where Hillary's grandfather worked 16-hour days in a lace factory and most of his relatives were "exhausted laborers, blistered farmers...drab loners, prudish spinsters, lonely bachelors, and sad drinkers." Her great-uncle George Beale Rodham was "an aberration in a family of underachievers," a second-tier political boss. The author suggests she inherited her skills from him.
