Hillary breakfast read in 5 minutes
“21-year-old Hillary
Clinton spoke about coming of age at her college graduation”

acknowledgment of the legitimate grievances and painful questions so
many young Americans had about our country’s direction. I waited
for some mention of Vietnam or civil rights or of Dr. King or Senator
Kennedy, two of our generation’s fallen heroes. The senator seemed
out of touch with his audience: 400 smart, aware, questioning young
women. His words were aimed at a different Wellesley, one that
predated the upheavals of the 1960s.” …
