Introduction
The first U.S. president born after World War II, Bill Clinton in many ways personified the polarization of the baby boom generation. Born in rural Arkansas, Clinton attended the nation's best universities, became involved in the social protests of the 1960s, and possessed both striking ambition and remarkable political skills. Often embroiled in controversy, Clinton's path to the presidency was a reflection of the personal and political turbulence of the postwar era.
