Has anyone ever gotten the definitive story about why Clinton did not use his Rhodes scholarship to get a degree from Oxford? I know that he spent a lot of time "not inhaling" and protesting the Vietnam War with his Brit buddies, and also I've heard about a trip he took to Russia while he was a student in England.

The darker rumors are that he was asked to leave after a rape accusation against him from a female student there.

I heard that the British authorities got him to leave England after several complaints had been lodged about his sexual assaulting nature, so he never finished his Rhodes thingy. Seems as though the Rhodies didn't want their good name soiled.

Official complaints of sexual assault by Clinton go back to 1969 when he was a student in Oxford where he was charged with raping 19-year-old Eileen Wellstone, an English student. Police were called but the family decided, unfortunately, not to press charges. Clinton was virtually told by Oxford University to get out. Miss Wellstone, now married, still states that Clinton raped her. This, as Broaddrick has clearly demonstrated, was not an isolated case. A significant number of complaints have been lodged against Clinton for sexual misbehaviour, including assault. The New Australian
