FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. The three-page memo to Hillary Clinton came from a veteran Democratic operative trying to prepare her for the perils of campaigning for a New York Senate seat.
I strongly urge that a comprehensive book be prepared on all of the personal issues, such as Whitewater, Vince [Foster], Rose law firm, commodities trading, Monica, etc., wrote Harold Ickes. This book should include all of the tough questions that you will be asked (and, if you decide to run, you will be asked) in this regard.
Mr. Ickes sent the letter in April 1999, when the Monica Lewinsky scandal was still fresh and the first lady was mulling a Senate bid.
Fifteen years year later, Mr. Ickess advice still seems timely. Should Mrs. Clinton enter the 2016 presidential race, its doubtful shell be able to sidestep the old questions. And its not hard to visualize someone in the Clinton high command dusting off the book.
The Ickes memo is part of a trove of diary entries, letters and notes compiled by a woman who was one of Mrs. Clintons closest friends, the late Diane Blair. Earlier this month the Washington Free Beacon, an online conservative news site, broke a story about the Blair papers, which were donated to the University of Arkansas by her husband.
The papers focused attention anew on the controversies that dogged the Clinton White House.Mrs. Clinton, we learn from one Blair diary entry, viewed Ms. Lewinsky as a narcissistic loony tune.
But even before the Free Beacon report, some Republicans made clear the Lewinsky scandal is live campaign fodder.
Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.), a possible presidential candidate, castigated former President Bill Clinton for predatory behavior in an interview last month on NBCs Meet the Press.
Some Republicans say this is all fair game. The Clintons, they argue, will no doubt showcase pieces of the 90s that present them in the most favorable light. So, if Mrs. Clinton gets to talk about job growth and budget surpluses, some Republicans say its only fair to flag the unappealing parts of the record.
Its important to make sure that theres a more complete picture of what the Clinton era in D.C. was like, said Tim Miller, executive director of America Rising, a super PAC intent on blocking Mrs. Clintons path to the White House. To that extent, youll find people talking about it on our side.

The esteemed political writer Charlie Cook recently produced a column titled Is Hillary Clinton Too Old to Run? Despite couching his thoughts with a mention that if Clinton were to run, she would be the same age as Ronald Reagan when he was first elected president, 69, he did venture over the sexism line.
The giveaway came toward the end when Cook noted that Clinton could be challenged for the nomination by Vice President Joe Biden, without noting Bidens age. Biden is almost five years older than she is.
In response to the raised eyebrows, Cooks next column was headlined Is Joe Biden Too Old to Run? In it, Cook explained that the Clinton column was not about the vice president. True, but it was about the age of presidential candidates, wasnt it?
Both men and women face age discrimination, but its no secret that for women, ageism mixes easily with sexism. And obsessing over a womans year of birth is often a slightly more respectable substitute for the latter.
Of course, age can be a consideration as it relates to questions of health. The best approach is to take the candidates one at a time. Frankly, Id rather be insuring 71-year-old Joe Biden than 51-year-old Chris Christie, New Jerseys overweight governor and an oft-mentioned presidential candidate (though not so much these days).
The point is that age arguments get dumped on women without much reflection. During the 2008 presidential campaign, the late Christopher Hitchens famously dismissed Clinton as an aging and resentful female. Even some liberal supporters of President Obama were not above making outrageously ageist/sexist remarks.
I dont recall similar conversations on another presidential candidate running in 2008 and again in 2012 Republican Mitt Romney. The former Massachusetts governor remains a vigorous man, and if he wanted to run again, why would his vintage be an issue?
True, Clinton is not the same age as Romney. Shes seven months younger.
Cook pointed out that Clinton did suffer an episode of fainting after a grueling travel schedule as secretary of state. Fair enough. But then he went on to discuss Bill Clintons heart surgery, adding that while he looks healthy, presidential campaigns are team efforts.
Again, was anyone raising such concerns about Romneys wife, Ann, who had been diagnosed with both multiple sclerosis and breast cancer? She actually shared her medical story on the campaign trail, a not-bad political strategy.
