First lady celebrates 50th birthd;
Tuesc
Clinton returns home to Illinois to revisit past, reminisce with
PARK RIDGE, ILL. (AP) — Hillary
Diane Rodham, the girl voted most
likely to succeed by her high-school
classmates, was welcomed home
yesterday as a hero returning to re
examine the roots that took her
from Girl Scouts and Goldwater to
Wellesley and the White House.
Cheerleaders, marching bands
and a children’s choir turned out at
O’Hare Airport to welcome Clinton
to a daylong birthday fest the city of
Chicago formally proclaimed
“Hillary Rodham Clinton Day.’’
“I could not ask for a better way
to turn 50,” Clinton said. She
called it “the best present I could
ever ask for.”
Clinton turned 50 Sunday and
celebrated her landmark birthday
at a tent party on the White House
South Lawn with family, including
daughter Chelsea, who flew home
from college in California, and
about 500 friends from all stages of
her life.
Today, the first lady and some of
her friends flew to Chicago to ex
tend the festivities with a two-day
trip into her past.
This is one birthday observance
going way beyond the usual cake
and candles.
Clinton’s hometown of Park
Ridge was putting up a marker at

were
joining her on a bus ride to remi

bers as the “Ozzie and Harriet” sub
urb of her youth.
President Clinton was flying in
for an evening bash at the Chicago
Cultural Center, and the first lady
was appearing Tuesday on Oprah
Winfrey’s show.
The guest list for the day’s ac
tivities included Clinton’s best
friend from high school, the boy
who walked with her to Eugene
Field Elementary School and the
Methodist youth minister credited
with helping to awaken her social
conscience.
“When people wonder who
Hillary Clinton is, they need to look
back at her early life,” Carl Anthony,
a historian accompanying the First
lady, said. “She is a product of a nur
turing 1950s idyll, and yet at the same
time she’s also a product of the city of
Chicago and its turmoil and its social
change of the late and mid-1960s.”
A Goldwater Republican in high
school, Clinton became a Democrat
during her undergraduate years at
Wellesley College and saw the turmoil
of the Democratic National Conven
tion firsthand when she came home
during the summer of 1968.
Today’s stops included the two-
story Georgian house at the corner
of Elm and Wisner where Clinton
grew up and the First United
Methodist Church, where youth
minister Don Jones encouraged a

WASHINGTON (AP) — China has a population-
control policy many Americans see as brutal.
The Chinese use prisoners to make toys and cloth
ing that wind up on the shelves of discount houses in
this country, American labor leaders say.
China is building the biggest dam in the world, and
the environmental cost grates some Americans.
Against the background of those feelings comes
Jiang Zemin on a weeklong goodwill tour of the Unit
ed States. There will be a White House meeting Wednes
day with President Clinton for diplomacy and dinner.
About the most Jiang can expect—and it is no small
ambition, say China experts — is a restoration of the
wellspring of good feeling that once existed between
these two countries.
It is not just the lingering image of Tiananmen Square
and the picture of a single Chinese student in a white
shirt, arms at his side, staring down a Chinese Army truik
“The Chinese admire what the United
States stands for and does, but they feel
that their time is coming, that they are
beginning to assume their rightful place in
the world and that the United States is
holding them back.”
NICHOLAS PLATT
PRESIDENT, ASIA SOCIETY
that captures America’s image of modern China.
But Tiananmen symbolizes the ambiguity of Ameri
can feeling about China, David Shambaugh, an Asian ex
pert at George Washington University and a former State
Department and National Security Council aide, says.
“It was not just an assault on students, but an as
sault on democracy,” he said.
Americans hold twin impulses toward China, he
says — the “missionary impulse to transform China,
economically, politically, and strategically,” and a sec
ond anti-communist feeling enhanced when China
abandons liberalization in favor of order and harsh po
litical repression.
China scholar Mary Brown Bullock, president of
Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Ga., and daughter
and granddaughter of American missionaries in Chi
na, says more than the conflict between Eastern and
Western values — and more than the inevitable fric
tions between a capitalist democracy and a commu
nist autocracy — explains the tensions between the
two countries.
She sees a time warp at work, “a conflict between
19th- and 20th-century values.” While America now
follow the dictates of internationalism, the global
economy and the information age, she said China is
catching up with the values of the 19 th century — na
tionalism, sovereignty (and thus the friction over
Tawainese recognition) and the basic need to feed so
many mouths.
Shambaugh said the China criticisms of American
interest groups play a role in shaping U.S. policy to
ward Beijing.
Thus, environmentalists and archaeologists must
be heeded when they rail against the building of Three
Gorges Dam in China, destined to be the world’s
biggest, but also to displace 1.3 million people. These
critics say it will obliterate endangered species and in
undate ancient sites. They were not around when
America built its own great dams, with untold envi
ronmental consequences, decades ago.
Labor leaders command attention when they de
nounce China’s use of prison labor to take jobs they
say should go to American workers and when they
charge China uses trade barriers to keep out Ameri
can products.
Arms control advocates are exercised over reports
of Chinese nuclear sales abroad and the transfer of Chi
nese missiles to Pakistan and Iran. The Pentagon be
comes suspicious of China’s ambitious military mod
ernization program.
Looming potentially as large as a vexation is China’s
persecution of Christians, who number in the millions.
