In reply to the discussion: Regarding Hillary Clinton [View all]H2O Man
(73,668 posts)very close friends for over 40 years. I worked with his defense team. And assisted him in writing his second book, as well as a chapter he contributed to a book on forgiveness (authored by a professor from SUNY-Binghamton).
In the years after he won his case in federal court, and was released, Rubin was free from bitterness. He was, in private, a fairly quiet and gentle man. My children all loved him, too. I miss talking to him. He remained a night-bird, and so lots of his calls came around 3 am.
The first time I met Ms. Clinton was at a large public event (the day she announced that she was running for the Senate, at Pat Moynihan's farm. The second time was with a very small group of friends, and I had the opportunity to talk with her casually. I had always been impressed with her, but found that I was much more impressed by her that day.
