After the Fall

Hillary is showing to have suffered a bad fall.
I wish her well. Hope this doesn’t impede her schedule around the globe. We need her more than ever at this time.
I also wish the media would exercise journalistic restraints  by not showing her in cast (what happen to close-ups?)

Nixon was shown holding up peace signs when boarding Helicopter 1.

Johnson grew hippie hair during retirement. And Bill Clinton also in cast.
“I need a hero” (Bonnie Tyler), but our heroes are also human. Mrs Clinton  knocked on doors during voter drive campaigns, fought for child protection legislation, and started her early career in Arkansas where she met her husband. The couple, however, weren’t immune  from Hollywood-like saga, and also had their share of accidents (yet Bill was taking down the Stanford bunk-bed himself for Chelsea,  heroes can’t be more human than that!).

Enough for self-projection onto our archetypes. Our collective fantasy could be better served by Ho and Bollywood. It’s admirable enough for Hillary to start out in her 60’s hair and granny glasses, to now represent the United States of America in power suits. With or without cast, Hillary exemplifies the best of breeds.
