Relive A First Lady's Life

After much agitation-provoking delay, the Clinton Library has released the daily schedule of Hillary Clinton during the WJC administration; I just scanned January 1994. Scholars, opposition researchers, and conspiracy theorists will be busy today: The Hubbells are on the 1/7/94 flight manifest! She had a private meeting with Merck's CEO and lobbyist on 1/21/94!

But I find it fascinating to browse through and see the day-to-day life of the FLOTUS (First Lady Of The United States): meet with Queen Noor; attend David Geffen event with Hollywood's elite; meet children in Santa Monica affected by the earthquake (earthquake? oh yeah, the Northridge earthquake); observe a birthing class with Mrs. Yeltsin; meet-and-greet with Wellesley students; attend Alfalfa Club Dinner ("Dick Cheney intros surprise speaker"); and of course lots of staff and health-care policy meetings.
