Introducing a glowing profile of Hillary Clinton’s political career on Thursdays’s NBC Today, special correspondent Tom Brokaw fondly recalled the first time he heard of the Clintons: “40 years ago, when I was doing the Today show, I began to hear about this bright young couple down in Arkansas. Everybody was talking about maybe he'll run for president some day and everybody said he’s got this terrific wife.”
The fawning report began: “Hillary's long journey had an unlikely beginning. She was a Goldwater Girl in a Republican family. By college, she was out front in feminine and anti-war politics. Her commencement speech against the war was the beginning of her public life.” Brokaw hailed: “At Yale Law School, she met an equally ambitious politically passionate soul mate. It was the beginning of a storied and stormy relationship.”
