Hillary Clinton: Wellesley College, Hormones & The 60's

Today " The New York Times " had an article about Hillary when she attended Wellesly College in the 60's. She gave the commencement speech in 1969.

In the speech she described classes search for a "... more immediate, ecstatic and penetrating mode of living". Was she describing a dildo ? The speech got a 7 minute standing ovation. With all the assembled female hormones in the commencement hall, Hillary knew how to connect.

The article also included a 1969 vintage photo of Hillary WITHOUT the chin she acquired during her husband's run for the presudency. Maybe sans a chin one does need a dildo. Whatever. Hillary looked like many of the women I saw in San Francisco at that same time. But some women and men didn't buy into that part of the hippy philosophy that wanted government to replace personal responsibility. And some who bought into it eventually out grew it. But Hillary is still living in that time.
