The book says Clinton's "emotional state" was "as fragile as it had ever been" in late 1994 after her close friend Vince Foster had committed suicide, her father had died and her healthcare proposals had been rejected.

Foster died in July 1993. Not "late 1994."

Hmmmm...

No, you’re misreading, sorta. Late 1994, when Bernstein claims she was depressed, is unarguably after July 1993.

[EDINVA]

the “had” refers back to incidents that had happened, doesn’t say the incidents happened in ‘94, only that by late ‘94 they had cumulatively contributed to her depressed condition.

Given the wide exposure of all Berntein’s other books, it’ll be intersting to see how little this one will be touted on the networks.

Correct. Health care finally failed in Sept 1994, Foster died July 1993.
