Clintonmania in Little Rock

I'm back from the Clinton festivities in Little Rock. An editorial in today's Arkansas Democrat-Gazette accurately called the dedication ceremony "a little across-the-aisle nicey-nicey." Highlights and links to the remarks are in the previous post. Here's the good stuff -- photos (mine unless credited). Click on the photos to see them larger and clearer.
