History of Lenawee County, Michigan Clinton B. Fisk was a son of this early pioneer of Clinton Township, and was less than two years old when the family took up its abode in Lenawee County. In the fall of 1831, every adult in the village of Clinton was invited by Benjamin B. Fisk and wife to dine, and they all at one time sat around the table, thus giving some idea of the population of the embryo village at that time. The village of Clinton is situated on the northern border of the county, on the Jackson branch of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railroad. www.lenaweehistory.com /lenawee-ch30.html   (2453 words)

AmericanHeritage.com / Clinton Impeached: The View From Seven Years Later Clinton’s troubles had begun more than five years earlier, when Attorney General Janet Reno appointed a special counsel to investigate improprieties the President might have committed in the 1970s, when he and his wife invested in a land development deal along the Whitewater River in Arkansas. On the other hand, she was a member of Bill Clinton’s cabinet; accordingly, she felt obliged to go the extra mile in removing any appearance of a partisan cover-up. The lasting tragedy of the Clinton trial, and of the popular comparison to 1868, may be that many Americans now regard the impeachment process with a skeptical eye. www.americanheritage.com /people/articles/web/20060107-bill-clinton-hillary-clinton-monica-lewinsky-kenneth-starr-paula-jones-impeachment-linda-tripp-whitewater.shtml   (1225 words)

Do Women Like Hillary Clinton?(The Korea Times) The fact remains that even though it is rapidly becoming ``conventional wisdom" that it is ``inevitable" that Clinton will be elected, most voters are not yet convinced she should be president. The gender brouhaha that erupted briefly after the last Democratic debate, when some of Clinton's most zealous supporters complained that the males were ``piling on" to criticize her, did her harm. Clinton still has to prove she's tough but not too tough ― a decisive, competent, experienced woman who is warm and approachable. www.koreatimes.co.kr /www/news/opinon/2007/11/137_13545.html   (758 words)
