Hillary Clinton was in her element. On stage at Belfast's
Grand Opera House last week, flanked by volunteers and politicians' wives,
Clinton celebrated the role of women in the Northern Ireland peace process. In a
confident speech reminiscent of another Clinton, she urged her audience to keep
pushing for a common-sense end to the ages-old conflict. On her last official
overseas trip as First Lady, Clinton fondly recalled not only earlier visits to
Belfast, but her travel around the globe. Now she'd come to say farewell and, as
she put it, to "end one chapter in my life." But traveling with the president on
his victory lap around the British Isles last week, Hillary was opening a whole
new book. As the Clintons prepare to leave the White House,
Bill isn't the only one thinking about a legacy. Hillary has racked up a long
list of First Lady "firsts": first baby boomer, first professional woman, first
to head a major government task force, first to testify before a grand jury.
"Hillary Clinton is, in my estimation, the single most accomplished First Lady
in American history," say Carl Anthony, a former Nancy Reagan aide and author of
"American First Families." But it's been a bumpy ride. "She might say surviving
is her greatest triumph," says a friend. Now her election to the U. S. Senate
and a staggering new book deal prove that Clinton has not only survived—she's
thriving. So much so that she's already topping the whispering list of
contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004.
Despite all her years on the national stage, much about Hillary Clinton
remains a mystery— which may explain why Simon & Schuster last week bid an
almost unprecedented $ 8 million to publish her memoirs. But friends caution
that while Clinton will touch on the obvious travails of her champion
fund-raiser—both for Democrats who love her and for Republicans who love to hate
her— and could become an eloquent voice of opposition against the new Bush White
House. Hillary has promised to serve out her six-year Senate term, a vow that
still could leave her open for a presidential bid in 2008. Still, friends insist
she have no such plans. But the idea could grow on her. Al Gore
once seemed the natural heir of Bill Clinton's legacy. But in a few years, with
a solid Senate record on key committees like finance or appropriations, Hillary
could be well positioned to challenge the notoriously stiff campaigner who
already squandered the advantages of incumbency. No matter what
her ultimate ambitions are, Clinton has learned a thing or two about taking
small steps. When Hillary staked out an office in the West Wing and took charge
of health-care reform, people thought she was overreaching. Yet while Clinton
was wounded after the health-fiasco, she never abandoned her goals, quietly
pushing initiatives on children's health, adoption and foreign aid, among
others. After years of changing hairstyles and political
strategies, Hillary, it seems, has finally found her groove. It is a central
tenet of Hillaryland that every woman gets to make choices of her own— to work,
to run for office, to stand by her man. So when Clinton sits down with Laura
Bush, friends say she won't be offering any how-to lectures. Clinton is far more
consumed with her own new job in the Senate. She's also zeroing in on a house in
Washington. She won't be staying at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue anymore, but she
won't be far away, either.
