Speculation has been rampant since President Clinton's testimony to the Starr grand jury and his subsequent revelation on national television August 17. Some of it has even focused on the Clinton presidential library, to be erected in Little Rock.
Will videotapes of more than five hours of presidential testimony ultimately reside in the library? "I would say so, yes," asserted David Peterson, assistant archivist for presidential libraries at the National Archives, in the August 20 Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
Skip Rutherford, local coordinator of the library commented, "The more controversial a president is, the more intriguing his library will be. Libraries are about the whole scope of the administration, good and bad, victories and defeats, successes and failures."
The buzz in Little Rock is that New York architect Charles Gwathmey is a leading contender for the design.
