		Clinton's role in the Castle Grande transactions was all but unknown prior to the discovery of her billing records in the White House residence in January 1996.
		Clinton's attempt to claim she had misunderstood the name of the project appears contrary to a wealth of evidence to the effect that the entire 1000+ acre tract was known as "Castle Grande."

	WOOKIEEhut: NYC: Day 6 - International Men (and Women!) of Mystery
		Castle Clinton / Castle Garden is a fortress that once defended the southern tip of Manhattan Island during the War of 1812, though it never had occasion to fire upon the enemy, and later served as a restaurant, opera house, aquarium, and customs and immigration clearing house.
		The "Clinton" is DeWitt Clinton, the then-mayor of New York, and for whom the state county and the neighborhood formerly known as Hell's Kitchen are named.
		By the way, note that the fortress is officially called "Castle Garden" but those of us who live and grew up in the city have only heard it called "Castle Clinton." It's interesting that like for pedigree dogs, some names only exist on official documentation; locals will choose their own names for features.
