Chelsea Thesis May Clarify Hillary's Role in Irish Peace

While Hillary Clinton stands accused of exaggerating her part in the 1998 Irish peace process, the answer might lie in an unlikely 150-page document—Chelsea Clinton's senior thesis from Stanford. Only problem? No one seems to know where it's gone, Newsweek reports, and a Clinton spokesman warns it was "written to satisfy an academic requirement—not media curiosity."

Stanford's library doesn't have a copy on file; Chelsea's academic adviser does, but can't release it without her permission. Bill Clinton—Chelsea's chief thesis consultant—may have actually set back the peace process when he granted a visa to Sinn Fein chief Gerry Adams. And while her mother did help Ulster women's groups, ultimately neither Clinton was present at the negotiating table. (More Northern Ireland stories.)
