Page34: We always liked talking about politics, and that day he raged against
losing John and Robert Kennedy when our country so badly needed their strong and graceful leadership. We talked a lotthen, and in the years since, about whether political action is worth the pain and struggle. Then, as now, we decided that
it was, if only, in Kevin's words, to keep "the other guys away from power over us."
I had applied for the Wellesley Internship Program in Washington, D.C., and though dismayed and unnerved by the
assassinations, I was still committed to going to Washington. The nine-week summer program placed students in agencies
and congressional offices for a first-hand look at "how givernment works." I was surprised when Professor Alan Schechter,
the program's Director and a great political science teacher, as well as my thesis adviser, assigned me to intern at the
House Republican Conference. He knew I had come to college as a Republican and was moving away from my father's
opinions. He thought this internship would help me continue charting my own course-no matter what i eventually decided.
Page38: AFter i was accepted by Harvard adn Yale, I couldn't make up my mind
where to go until i was invited to a cocktail party at Harvard Law School. A male law student friend introduced me to afamous Harvard law professor straight out of The Paper Chase, saying, "This is Hillary Rodham. She's trying to decide
whether to come here next year or sigh up with our closest competitor." The great man give me a cool, dismissive look and
said, "Well, first of all, we don't have any close competitors. Secondly, we don't need any more women at Harvard." I was
leaning toward Yale anyway, but this encounter removed any doubts about my choice.
All that remained was graduation from Wellesley, and I thought it would be uneventful, until my classmate and friend
Eleanor "Eldie" Acheson decided our class needed its own speaker at graduation. I had met Eldie, the granddaughter of
Pesdient Truman's Secretary of State, Dean Acheson. r u reading the e-book? i read the book with hard-cover, have to type word by word...but i love this book....
