The Week

■ We don’t want to accuse Bill Clinton of duplicity, but, if elected, he might be the first President to deliver his inaugural address on split-screen TV.

■ Having previously established that she was no Tammy Wynette, Hillary Clinton has sent up another warning flare: “I suppose I could have stayed home, baked cookies, and had teas, but what I decided to do was fulfill my profession,” i.e., busybody lawyer. She’s making it pretty clear that she regards the life of a full-time wife and mother with disdain. As head of the Children’s Defense Fund (see “The Week,” March 30), she “fulfills” her profession by seeking to police the family. In our view, a woman who inflicted the name Chelsea on her only child is in no position to preach to others about children’s rights.
