NEW HAVEN — President Clinton in a speech at Yale Friday shared his world vision of a 21st Century that is built on cooperation and sharing, a vision he said is more likely to strengthen our security than the course the country is presently charting.

"My philosophy is the United States should cooperate with others whenever we can … and act alone only if we have to. In the current government, the conservatives, at least, believe that we should act alone whenever we can and cooperate when we have to," Clinton told the enthusiastic crowd of several thousand seated at Woolsey Hall.

Clinton worked the crowd near the stage at the end of his talk, while students scrambled over seats to get closer to him to take a photo or shake his hand.

Alan Kennedy Schaffer, 19, a Yale sophomore, gave Clinton’s address high marks, particularly his advice to get involved.

"He made us feel we can do something about the world," Schaffer said.

Alderwoman Andrea Jackson Brooks, D-4th, said, "he can be my president again in a drop of the hat. He’s an unbelievable contrast to what we have now."
