Is it possible that young Bill Clinton blew a Rhodes Scholarship by assaulting a young girl in his host country? One might wonder if he were capable of such reckless behavior were it not for the Lewinsky affair. The rumor persists to this day that Clinton did not receive a degree as the result of his studies at Oxford. When the question came up during the 1992 presidential campaign, he failed to respond to it. As Aldrich wrote: "It is noted that normally a candidate would sign a release so as to allow investigators to confirm or deny educational claims. In this case, the candidate will neither sign a release form nor will he provide documentation related to his attendance and performance at Oxford."
