I now know why Hillary plays it close to the vest.

Well, not really. That's a joke.

But I did happen upon an interesting historical anecdote.

A friend of ours taught Hillary in a religion class at Wellesley. When she gave her "Cookies/Tammie Wynette" interview, he wrote her a letter. He said (words to the effect) "Honesty does not require you to say everything you know." She responded with a letter remembering her positive times in his class.

It reminded me of the several example of her very long term correspondences with a whole host of people. They are a real testimony to her humanity.
