The Truth about the WC at Last

[Tracy Riddle]

Someone help me out here: Clinton was supposedly at Yale from 1971 to 1973, and had a job in 1972 working in Arizona for McGovern. At what point does his academic career or work with the McGovern campaign land him in Alaska organizing junkets for the House majority leader?

Don't make me go and buy the book!

See, this is where people need to be more careful about their research. Here's an excerpt from Clinton's book:

The speaker at the dinner was the House majority leader, Hale Boggs of Louisiana. He made an impassioned speech for McGovern and the Democrats. The next morning I got him up early to catch a plane to Alaska, where he was scheduled to campaign with Congressman Nick Begich. The following day, on a swing through the snowcapped mountains, their plane crashed and was never found.

So Clinton did not drive Boggs to get on the plane that crashed - that was a later flight, from Anchorage to Juneau.
