“... at Camp David in Maryland in July last year. The request for the summit came from Barak – and Bill Clinton, ‘the last Zionist’ as one Israeli newspaper aptly called him, obliged. At the summit Barak presented a package which covered all the key final-status issues, including a proposal for the division of East Jerusalem. His spokesmen proclaimed ...”

“... silent. This process was well underway before 11 September 2001, and in domestic affairs at least, Bill Clinton and his calculated policy ‘triangulations’ must carry some responsibility for the evisceration of liberal politics. But since then the moral and intellectual arteries of the American body politic have hardened further. Magazines and ...”

“... This is very different from the neoliberal state, whose job was characterised by Peter Mandelson, Bill Clinton and other Third Wayers in the 1990s as ‘steering not rowing’. The target political audience of the neoliberal politician was always the ‘hard-working family’. This imaginary unit had ‘aspiration’ and wanted to ‘get ahead’. The ...”

There’s a statue of Bill Clinton in Pristina and many Kosovar Albanians feel positively about the Nato intervention in 1999, yet Kosovo doesn’t have full autonomy and remains highly dependent on Washington. The left-leaning Self-Determination Movement, which has governed ...”

“... his control, a man of few deep convictions who failed to lead public opinion – rather like Bill Clinton. Although conceived before 11 September, both Richard Carwardine and Daniel Farber’s books have at least one eye on the present. Carwardine focuses on Lincoln’s relationship to different kinds of power – political, military and moral, and ...”

“... Macron almost as much as it does Le Pen. For the left, Macron isn’t just a French version of Bill Clinton or Tony Blair – a supposedly progressive politician who extols the free market and has sold out to big business. He also conjures up memories of Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, who launched his 1851 coup by papering Paris with posters ...”

“... finally the Georgia state capitol. His funeral in Atlanta was attended by three former presidents, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Jimmy Carter sent his apologies – he was too old to travel. Donald Trump, the legitimacy of whose election win in 2016 Lewis had challenged, did not attend. Writing shortly before and in the knowledge of his ...”

“... with its special weapons and bellicose posturing. The prison-industrial complex burgeoned under Bill Clinton: an incarcerated population of 300,000 in 1970 expanded to 2.1 million in 2000 – the majority black and brown, and poor. Liberals did not simply inherit Republican schemes of harsh policing and extreme punishment. They took the ...”

“... Putin might be ‘a killer’, ‘There are a lot of killers.’ ‘What do you think?’ he asked Bill O’Reilly. ‘Our country’s so innocent?’ Defenders of conventional wisdom were livid at any hint that ‘the indispensable nation’ might be as imperfect as any other. Chomsky’s universalist perspective has enabled him to develop a powerful critique ...”

“... set the rules for popular programmes such as Social Security, federal home mortgages and the G.I. Bill, leading to gross inequities for African Americans. Social Security, the centrepiece of Roosevelt’s New Deal, initially excluded agricultural and domestic labourers, the vast majority of the Black working class.Slowly, however, the migration that began ...”

“... they do, but this does not necessarily mean that I clamour for their suppression. Why she thinks Bill Clinton is a saint is a mystery, but she can broadcast the opinion from the rooftops for all I care. On the other hand, I may have quite a good understanding of what brings some people to be racists, and may well imagine myself feeling the same in ...”

He is a political intellectual in the most fluent American style, who has built himself a useful and largely deserved image as spokesman for a confident but humane vision of American ...”

“... now took root, was not simply an acceptance of the inevitable. The arrival in the White House of Bill Clinton, who talked the language of human rights, gave it further credence and that was followed by the war in the Balkans, the re-emergence of ethnic cleansing in Europe, the abject failure of the EU to act, and then the decisive intervention of the ...”

“... George that leaves out politics effaces almost everything that made him Lloyd George. Rather like Bill Clinton, he lived for politics, and the years with Stevenson were his years of greatest achievement and power. Between 1913 and his death, Lloyd George ran several ministries, led two governments, prosecuted a major war, dealt with serious social ...”
