Clinton's real daddy was dead and his step-daddy a dud. Without a
sponsor, what chance did he have of getting a cushy billet in TANG or
any other country club?


Clinton's sponsor was Senator J. William Fulbright.



Clinton used his brains and work ethic to get
ahead. Clinton's grades got him into graduate school and earned a
Rhodes scholarship.


No doubt young Clinton was counting on a graduate school deferment to keep
him out of the draft. Unfortunately, the Johnson administration
unexpectedly abolished graduate on February 16, 1968. Clinton became
eligible for the draft when he graduated from Georgetown the following June.
