FAYETTEVILLE -- Living in Arkansas made Hillary Clinton a better person.

That's what she told a reporter in 1984, after she'd lived in the state for a decade.

"I am a different -- based on my values -- a better person, not just because I married Bill, but because I've lived in Arkansas," Clinton told Roy Reed, who interviewed her 32 years ago for an Esquire magazine article that was never published.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, who was then first lady of Arkansas, is now the presumptive Democratic nominee to be president of the United States.

Clinton told Reed that she was lucky -- lucky to have attended prestigious colleges and lucky to live in Arkansas, where she felt more connected than anywhere else in her life.

2. Nice article. Could never guess that this is the same person the Republicans make out as the
