So deutlich wie in dieser Rezension von N. Hamiltons "Bill Clinton. An American Journey" wird die NYT selten:

A pasted-together compendium of recycled news, familiar observations and base gossip, Nigel Hamilton's new biography of Bill Clinton represents a sleazy new low in the chronicling of presidential lives. It regurgitates the most scurrilous and unsubstantiated rumors about Mr. Clinton and his wife; dwells, with voyeuristic fascination, on his sex life and uses soap opera prose and sociological hot air to recount (in this, the first of two projected volumes) Mr. Clinton's life through the conclusion of his tumultuous 1992 run for the White House.
