Moreover, even as he challenged black establishments, Williams gathered friends in white ones. He became close to a Yale instructor named Stan Greenberg, who would later become Bill Clinton's pollster (and whose firm now works for Williams' campaign). Greenberg's wife Rosa DeLauro, a Congresswoman from Connecticut, also became a friend. Other prominent New England families helped advance his career...

In 1980 Clinton was a failed one-term Governor until he apologized for raising car-tag fees and got his wife to drop that fancy "Rodham" business with her name. In 1992 he became the Comeback Kid, miraculously saving a crashing candidacy by quickly apologizing for causing pain in his marriage. So why on Aug. 17 couldn't he live the lie a little bit longer in order to satisfy a huge...
