A very interesting interview has just been published related to the heavily contested Hillary Clinton files at the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, Arkansas.Conservative elements who are demanding a magic wand be waved so that the Library can dump out all Hillary Clinton material before the November 2008 election should read it.
The article is Inside The Clinton Archives by the National Journal Group publication and it was published December 17. The article is basically National Journal's Alexis Simendinger's Q & A with expert Sharon Fawcett, assistant archivist for presidential libraries at the National Archives and Records Administration.
