"We have to believe in the importance and integrity and nobility of public service, and we have to encourage good people to get into it," Clinton said. "I hope this graduate program will accomplish that."

Integrity? Yeah right. How could he even make a statement like that with his track record? Integrity is one thing Slick never possessed.

Did Clinton sign the last beam when they tore this building down?

THE BLACK LANDMARK THE CLINTON LIEBRARY RAZED

You think I’m kidding?
They really did tear that down.

Excerpt:

Who is to blame when a historic landmark is lost? Part of the blame belongs to a throw-away society that places little premium on historical structures. Some of the blame must accrue to preservationists and historians who failed to recognize the significance of this structure hidden within May Supply Company. Most of the blame, however, must go to the Clinton Library Foundation and the City of Little Rock, neither of whom showed any evidence of a good faith effort to evaluate various options for keeping the station or moving a smaller representative section to a nearby site. One must also wonder why Clinton library site engineers failed to call attention to this historical building during the early stages of the library design. Site engineers had conducted exhaustive surveys of the area, surveys which had given them access to this building while it was cocooned within other structures and effectively hidden from the public. Were the survey engineers incapable of recognizing an unquestionably historic structure, or was their silence a deliberate calculated effort to conceal details of a landmark which they considered expendible?

This item made me fall out laughing. I live in Little Rock and last year there was a controversy about this Rail Road Depot that had been covered up in the ensuing years and had been used as a warehouse. It was discovered as the warehouse structure was being torn down. It was in the way of the Library and there were several local people trying to save the structure or get it moved. City and Clinton Foundation could not/would not wait and the City sent in a demolition team of bull dozers to take it down in the middle of the night before a court hearing could be held on what to do. So I am wondering what there is to renovate. They sure didn't save the materials of the R.R. station when they Bull Dozed it down and if they did the material would almost be useless. Where was this Foundation last year when the local preservationists were trying to save this place??

>>>>>>>The Starship rock song "We Built This City" played from a speaker as a 29-foot, white, steel beam was hoisted to the top of the library's frame.


Chorus:
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

Say you don't know me, or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla, sinking in your fight
Too many runaways eating up the night

Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

chorus

Someone's always playing corporation games
Who cares they're always changing corporation names
We just want to dance here, someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible, write us off the page

Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

chorus

It's just another Sunday, in a tired old street
Police have got the choke hold, oh, and we just lost the beat

Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wrecking ball into our guitars
Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're just simple fools
Looking for America, crawling through your schools

(I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge
Out on a gorgeous sunny Saturday, I've seen that low amount of traffic)

Don't you remember (remember)

(Here's your favorite radio station, in your favorite radio city
The city by the bay, the city that rocks, the city that never sleeps)

Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

Whatever the heck that means.

Yeah, he would be the one to know all about fine dining.

[Miss Marple]

You know, it looks like he is staging photo-ops like when he was president.

Blech!

I know this is off the subject, but I didn't want to start another thread. I was looking at the trash news while standing in the grocery line and they had a 1963 picture of the JFK intern on the front. I was thinking that she looked an awful lot like Mary Jo Kopechne. Can anyone grab both pictures for a comparison?

Former President Bill Clinton, right, writes his name and the date on the beam to be placed atop his presidential library in Little Rock, Ark, Friday, May 23, 2003. Clinton spoke before the beam went up, telling a gathering that he is busy writing his memoirs, and that his time in Arkansas plays a major role in the text. (AP Photo/Mike Wintroath)

The caption to another AP photo put the crowd at 2,500.

Maybe it's just the hairstyle, but the resemblence struck me immediately. Thanks.
