 Watergate scribe tackles 'mystery' of Hillary
Carl Bernstein’s“A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton” has sparked controversy since it was published in early June.The Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter had no access to either Hillary or Bill Clinton for the sprawling 640-page biography, which includes assertions that Bill nearly ended their marriage in 1989 and that Hillary wanted to succeed him as governor of Arkansas in 1990. Bernstein also depicts a childhood very different from the “Leave It to Beaver”-esque family life described in Hillary’s 2004 autobiography, “Living History.”

In researching his portrait of the woman who would be president, Bernstein relied on interviews with sources including associates and friends of the powerhouse couple.
He reportedly was paid a $750,000 advance from Knopf Publishing to write the book, which covers Hillary’s Midwestern upbringing, her college years during the turbulent 1960s and her meteoric rise to the top of the American political heap.
In an interview with the Herald, Bernstein discussed the biography and the hurdles he faced in writing it.
Herald: How difficult was it to write “A Woman in Charge” without having an interview with either Hillary Rodham Clinton or Bill Clinton? Without access to the Clintons, why did you decide to write the book?
Bernstein:I began writing the book in 1999 and Hillary was very good in terms of telling her friends and associates that if they wanted to talk to me it was OK and it was totally up to them. I was able to get on the record the people who had been around her in the pivotal points in her life from childhood through the White House and Senate years.
They spoke very candidly. It is not an account by either her acolytes or her enemies. Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton said they would speak to me for the book, but they kept putting it off and then when she announced her run for the presidency, they declined.
