Still a same point...Attempts to press Clinton case, are in reality desperate efforts to prove that constitution is a foundation of this country and President at the very least must have Presidential Standards... Where in fact foundation of this country is now Money, Money and Money/Prosperity...and Prosperity is based on incredibly hard work ethics and desire to make Money that Americans have....
Albright or any other "useless" knowledge is just a distraction...

At least history is never blind and would focus on Clinton as he was: Biting lip Political Opportunist and Manipulator that should have never been a President, who proved that in reality there is nothing to the Job and the Job is ain't Rocket Science and that he was sign of the times

Poll: Shakespeare Is Greatest Briton

Friday, 1 January 1999
L O N D O N (AP)

A BRITISH Broadcasting Corp. readers poll has chosen playwright William
Shakespeare as Britain's personality of the Millennium, the organization
said Friday.

Britain's World War II leader Winston Churchill was second, with
England's earliest typographer, William Caxton, in third place.

The poll was organized by Radio 4's "Today" news program.

Listeners voted by telephone on their choice to find a short list of six. Initial
nominees included Elizabeth I and Henry VIII as well as some
light-hearted entries such as Rolling Stone Mick Jagger and the puppet
Miss Piggy from the Muppets.

Listeners then were asked to determine the final placings of the six.

"Even though many thousands of listeners voted for other nominees, I think
most people would agree that Shakespeare should be there or
thereabouts," said "Today" editor Rod Liddle.

Shakespeare polled 11,717 votes, Winston Churchill 10,957, and Caxton
7,109, Liddle said.

Biologist Charles Darwin, whose 19th century theory of evolution by
natural selection changed mankind's view of nature, was fourth with 6,337
votes.

Physicist Isaac Newton, who in the 17th century developed the modern
world's understanding of mathematics and physics, was fifth with 4,664
votes.

Albert Einstein said that Newton's book, "The Mathematical Principles of
Natural Philosophy" was "perhaps the greatest intellectual stride that it has
ever been granted to any man to make."

Oliver Cromwell, leader of the victorious English Parliamentary forces who
defeated and beheaded Charles I in England's 17th century civil war, was
sixth with 4,653 votes.
