More Tears

Dear Editor:
While it's true that the Clintons' political skills are sharp as daggers, I disagree with Robert Novak's claim that Hillary's now-famous tears were insincere ("The Clintons' One-Two Punch," January 10). She cried at the prospect of not ascending to the peak of power. What she tearfully confessed was her "passionate" belief that without her in the White House, America will "fall backwards as nation." Emotion welled in her bosom when she reflected on how many "opportunities" she has to offer America, and how "very personal" is her craving to govern others.
I have no doubt that real tears were brought to her eyes by this emotional stew of conceit mixed with fear of not grabbing the power that she so craves.
Sincerely,
