No Storybook Ending Here

摘要

Once upon a time, there was a girl who wanted to fly among the planets and stars. She had blond locks, pink cheeks and (says this storyteller) blue, blue eyes. Her name was Hillary, and she tried to fly to the highest office in the land. The children's book is called "Hillary Rodham Clinton: Dreams Ikking Flight," and author Kathleen Krull finished it in December-just as Clinton's dreams began plummeting back to Earth. But Krull kept the faith through Iowa, the Bosnia flap, the Bill blow-ups. "I really thought she was going to win," says Krull. As Hillary tried to resuscitate her campaign (which was not involved with the book), Krull revised her draft, still hoping. Even after Clinton conceded, Krull refused to change the book's last words: "Was the land ready? No matter-she was propelling her way into history."
