Clinton Library's universal appeal seen in its 365,000 visitors

LITTLE ROCK -- The everyman appeal that Bill Clinton peddled in his political campaigns lives on at his presidential library. Among the more than 365,000 visitors who have passed through the library since November, no single demographic stands out.

"I just think he is the only president I'll ever see who will really understand me as a person, and that's why I wanted to see more," said Ava Carter, 48, a black Democrat traveling with James D. Stearns, 55, a white Republican.

**SNIP**

The more popular features of Clinton's library are his gifts from foreign dignitaries, a replica of the Oval Office, touch-screen links to key policies and a continually rolling videotape of his more light-hearted moments.

**SNIP**

Carter, who described herself and Stearns as "the Mary Matalin and James Carville of our apartment complex" in Dallas, said her trip to the Clinton Library was months in the making.

"I'd never even been to Arkansas, but last year we planned to go to Clinton's birth home in Hope, up to Hot Springs (where Clinton grew up) and here," Carter said. "James said, 'Sure, let's go."'

**SNIP**

"Of the 41 million vehicles that pass by this stretch of interstate a year, 4 to 5 million are first-time passersby; that's a big plus when the newness wears off," Rutherford said.

Rutherford says the continuing popularity of Clinton and his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., should sustain the library's buzz longer than the others. Yesawich says it would be a mistake to count on that because other ex-presidents have been in the public eye without adding to their museums' attendance figures.

I'd rather go to the greater Bugtussle toadstool museum than to the Clintoon Library and Massage palor. But that's just me.

WRITTEN IN STONE: AN ARCHITECT DEFINES THE CLINTONS

f mutability of meaning was necessary for the survival of the clintons--their survival hinged ultimately on the deconstruction of words and laws--it is more than a little ironic, and a manifestation of the special sway and shortsightedness of the pathologic ego, that clinton's monument to himself will necessarily define the clintons with the permanence of great inviolate places of iconic architecture.

Whereas a huckster removes meaning from institutions--the wife picked up where the husband left off--an architect encodes meaning in buildings. James S. Polshek, the architect with the dubious distinction of having been commissioned to build the William J. Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, believes that a successful architectural solution must necessarily be rooted in relevance.

Just as Polshek's buildings have physical layers, so too do they have layers of meaning. His Rose Center for Earth and Space, for example, is informed formally and programmatically by the historic architecture of a designated landmark even as it redefines itself, (often too self-consciously, in my view), in Star-Trekian terms. Reduced to its essence, the building is the nascent universe before the Big Bang, the promise of the undifferentiated cell in its mother's womb.

The "bridge to the 21^st century" was, perhaps, clinton's most delusional conceit, so it is not surprising that it would become clinton's self-referential metaphor of choice. His library was to be that bridge, if he had anything to say about it...

 

The architect is often the master of the inside joke, witness Robert Venturi's postmodern chairs. Venturi exploited--unabashedly and with abandon--the vocabulary of Las Vegas, its stage-set-as-reality and its roadside culture--bright, clashing, ugly and fake. The architect's inside joke is his hedge against the sycophancy that comes with patronage.

The flip side of the encoded meaning of the architect is the terrorist's decoding of it. To bin Laden, the World Trade Center was Jewish capitalism encoded in urban space. If Polshek's vision of clinton's library is a bridge, the inside joke is that, at best, it is a bridge to nowhere.

More likely, it is a bridge to the 7^th century...or a doublewide to house clinton double-speak. Take your choice.

Yeah, if you're a rapist, philanderer or a serial liar!

Was the man who was wearing his 'Gitmo' t-shirt listed as one of the visitors? In his picture, the parking lot looks empty.

The wildly unthinking mob on this site...

I sure hope you cleaned up after your visit. *Bubba is a carrier, ya know...

He should have used the discreet parking in the rear. None of the Baptist could see him that way.

I'm gobsmacked.

I didn't think that single-wide could hold that many people...

"I'd never even been to Arkansas, but last year we planned to go to Clinton's birth home in Hope, up to Hot Springs (where Clinton grew up)

From what I have seen..he never really has grown up!
