Presidents in step at launch of Clinton library

BOTH Presidents Bush, rock stars and ordinary admirers of Bill Clinton turned out yesterday to pay homage to the former president at the opening of the Clinton Presidential Centre in Arkansas.

An estimated 30,000 guests were on hand for the dedication of the $165 million (€127m) glass and steel home of artefacts and documents gathered during Mr Clinton’s eight years in the White House.

Such libraries have become standard for US presidents after they leave office.
