- It's interesting that both Bill and Hillary have modified either
- their signature or public name *since the inauguration*. Bill has changed
- his signature from "Bill Clinton" (pre-inauguration) to "William J. Clinton"
- (post-inauguration). This may be one reason why he was so deliberate in
- signing his first executive orders -- he didn't want to mess up. As many
- of you are aware, the woman introduced to us as "Hillary Clinton" during
- the campaign, whose legal name is "Hillary Rodham" (based on her
- tax filings), is now using the "Hillary Rodham Clinton" monicker.
- A prediction -- she will go back to "Hillary Rodham" within the next
- four years.
