WASHINGTON, July 28 They were high school friends from Park Ridge, Ill., both high achievers headed East to college. John Peavoy was a bookish film buff bound for Princeton, Hillary Rodham a driven, civic-minded Republican going off to Wellesley. They were not especially close, but they found each other smart and interesting and said they would try to keep in touch.
Which they did, prodigiously, exchanging dozens of letters between the late summer of 1965 and the spring of 1969. Ms. Rodhams 30 dispatches are by turns angst-ridden and prosaic, glib and brooding, anguished and ebullient a rare unfiltered look into the head and heart of a future first lady and would-be president. Their private expressiveness stands in sharp contrast to the ever-disciplined political persona she presents to the public now.
Since Xmas vacation, Ive gone through three and a half metamorphoses and am beginning to feel as though there is a smorgasbord of personalities spread before me, Ms. Rodham wrote to Mr. Peavoy in April 1967. So far, Ive used alienated academic, involved pseudo-hippie, educational and social reformer and one-half of withdrawn simplicity.
Befitting college students of any era, the letters are also self-absorbed and revelatory, missives from an unformed and vulnerable striver who had, in her own words, not yet reconciled myself to the fate of not being the star.

I worked in book publishing for many years and I’m familiar with the laws that govern what you can and can’t publish without permission.
I pray for our sake it’s not to late for our country. The coming battles with Islam will make Iraq seen quaint by comparison.
Before this battle of civilizations is over many many millions will lie dead or subjugated.
The only thing holding back Islam is a real leader and he can’t be far off.
Chris Dodd doesn’t think that some candidates should be allowed to have more than one personality while there are others who don’t have any....
(Old Letterman joke originally told of Walter Mondale.)
“It was a dark and stormy night...”
That's the reason for the vague responses "evolving" "developing" when she's asked a serious question about her beliefs, positions on issues, etc.
She's still trying to play all sides... and come up with a popular answer.
She's still voting Uncle Teddy's liberal position on Senate bills although she likes to point to her affirmative vote on banning flag burning.
She's a chameleon.
Yeah, I suspect she wanted her letters out there. fh
So, she was stealing furniture long before she even arrived at the White House, I see.
It was a dark and stormy night...Best analysis yet.
A woman whose idea of liberty is strictly limited to who you sleep with and whether you have an abortion. Everything has an impact on “the village,” and therefore gives the state a legitimate interest in controlling your behavior and habits.
Not necessary for the most despicable woman in the hitory of The United States of America. The great FReepers posting to any of her threads will educate the uninformed.
I agree. She got a friendly outlet to control the presentation. I bet he does have his own letter, but those won't get out unless Hillary says so.
Father Karras: I think it might be helpful if I gave you some background on the different personalities Hillary has manifested. So far, I'd say there seem to be three. She's convinced...
Father Merrin: There is only one.
Teenagers who talk like that make me want to stick their head in a toilet.
Judging by the photo, The Witch needs another visit to her dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
Yes. They're called delusions of grandiosity, and we must see to it, for the sake of the vast majority in the US and all who hold liberty dear, that she does not return to the WH!
NY Slimes/Her Royal Thighness barf alert ping!
How would the reader know? You can bet that if there were any, the Slimes wouldn't include them in their story. After all, the goal of the piece is to try to humanize her (if that's possible), not to harm her campaign.
