Abstract

Beat the Devil
Cockburn, Alexander | October 12, 1992 issue

add to cart   close window

It's a measure of politician Bill Clinton that he should be muddying up the most visibly principled political act of his life-namely, his opposition to the war in Vietnam. The fear among financial elites that Bill Clinton might, despite all assertions and appearances, be a closet economic populist, was hilariously displayed soon after Labor Day. On September 9, 1992, "The Wall Street Journal," announced that a radical virus had been detected in Clinton's campaign software. On September 21, 2004, the journal was once more worrying over the all-important "Battle for the Soul of a President Clinton."
