Chelsea moves in at Oxford
Electronic Telegraph ^ | 01/10/2001 | Stewart Payne and Charlie Talbot

CHELSEA CLINTON arrived to take up her place at University College, Oxford, yesterday accompanied by her father, Bill, and a host of security men.

Miss Clinton had caused alarm for her parents because she was jogging close to the World Trade Centre on September 11 when the atrocities took place and was unable to tell them she was safe for two hours. Yesterday the former president was at her side as she started life at the college he attended in the late 1960s.

Having said goodbye to her mother, Hillary, a New York senator, Miss Clinton, 21, arrived in Britain with her father, who is expected to remain for several days to help her settle in.

Both Britain and the US provided security officials as she pulled up outside the college buildings. A university spokesman said that it had spoken to both countries to ensure appropriate security measures during her two-year course for a MPhil in international relations.

"Miss Clinton has indicated that she hopes to lead a normal student life, both in terms of her studies and her social life," the spokesman added.

"That was my room," Mr Clinton told his daughter, pointing to the window ledge and adding: "And that was where I used to put the milk to keep it cool. We had no refrigerators."

Miss Clinton, a history graduate from Stanford University, California, will have her own room but with shared facilities. Her first week - freshers week - will be spent getting used to her new home. Her studies begin in earnest next Monday and she joins the college officially at the matriculation ceremony on Oct 13.

The university spokesman indicated that no additional security had been considered necessary following the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. However, Thames Valley police officers patrolled the narrow cobbled streets around her college before the Clinton motorcade arrived.

Mr Clinton remained outside talking to staff and officials and reminiscing about his time in Oxford, but Chelsea appeared anxious to get inside and escape the drizzle.

Her father attended the university as a Rhodes scholar from 1968-70, staying in accommodation at the back of University College in Kybald Street, once home to the most notorious brothel in Oxford.

I also read (on another Chelsea thread yes, I do get bored late at night) that the Secret Service is setting up security for her at Oxford and that Scotland Yard will provide personal protection (don't ask me why) for her while she resides in England.

Oh well, the British taxpayers will probably have to foot the bill for that one.

how many people JOG close to the WTC?

Along the Hudson River about 1/4-1/2 mile to the west is a very popular place for jogging, biking, and skating. It is right behind that big glass dome you can see in the pictures next to ground zero. It is part of the Battery Park City complex.

That being said, she is still a lying Clinton. The last version of the story I heard she was having coffe about 1.5 miles north in Tribeca.

"And over there is is the bed where I raped Eileen."

RE: Picture in post #53: I don't think its not normal to hold your daughter's hand the way Klinton is, unless you are giving her away. I have a 19 year old daughter (step) and I wouldn't conceive of doing what he does to her in public. But maybe more impotantly, look at Klinton's left hand. It still has the wedding band, yes, but look at the arthritic, shriveled up, 70 yr-ish looking knuckles. Thats not the look of someone in their 50's. He's definitely inflicted with something. Hoping its "progressive"....GG

I don't think the emotional energy is driven by green eye shade concerns. But to each his own.

Hillary's friends have BEGGED her to give up her agents in D.C.

If you had made as many enemies as that bitch you wouldn't want them to leave you unprotected either. She's a coward just like 'her husband'. As long as they had the White House behind them they could get away with treating people like dogs. Now, it seems it's getting a little harder to keep it a secret.

I can tell you that Hillary has ALWAYS treated people like dirt. I know the hair-stylist that used to do Hillary's hair when she was co-governor of Arkansas. They had to clear out the place because she was such a snob. She didn't want ANYONE near her except 'her friends'. All three of them have TRASH MOUTHS and are arrogant smart asses.

If you parse my comment closely, you might discern that I elliptically alluded to that (sans the "leftist bitch" bit). I rest my case.

Not that you have engaged in it, but I am really not too fond of Chelsea bashing. She should be left alone. She has enough to contend with, in almost every way I can think of. I cringe at each and every thread in which she is the focus.

Sorry mate, but she had a free pass while the Klinton's were in office (except when they needed cover) and she could have kept in the background, but chose to put herself into the foreground. When she wants national coverage, she should be expected to get the same scrutiny as any other headline grabber. Truth-o-meter, motive-meter, etc. are all subject to scrutiny. In fact, why was it even reported that she was going to Oxford, hmmmm.

If they bother you so then why do you read them? Are you a masochist?

Why should we give a hot damn about ANYTHING Chelsea does or doesn't do? The only thing she has thus far distinguished herself at is being the only daughter of the most corrupt President and First Lady in the history of the United States!!!!!!!!
