Hillary Clinton ’73JD

The Yale Alumni Magazine is emphatically not in the business of endorsing presidential candidates, but for newsworthiness this week, it’s hard to top the victory of Senator Hillary Clinton ’73JD in the Pennsylvania primary. If we were the alumni magazine of about 50 years ago, we’d have to declare that Clinton had “shown the grit and tenacity of the bulldog” in her against-the-odds quest. But this is 2008, so we’ll just note that she’s trying to become the nation’s first female president, and its fourth consecutive Eli president.
