A Hillary Clinton campaign montage

Primary season is over, and Hillary Clinton didn't win. Even though she didn't win (enough) delegates or the Democratic nomination, she did make history and win the grudging admiration of many friends and foes, especially down the stretch. Herewith a gallery of images drawn from two New York Times slide shows, Clinton Cross-Country and Clinton's Bid Comes to a Close.

William Butler Yeats To a Friend Whose Work Has Come to Nothing (1916) Now all the truth is out, Be secret and take defeat From any brazen throat, For how can you compete, Being honour bred . . . ? Bred to a harder thing Than Triumph, turn away And like a laughing string Whereon mad fingers play Amid a place of stone, Be secret and exult, Because of all things known That is most difficult.
Photos: First row: Citizen Hillary. Hillary Clinton stands before a giant American flag. Second row — Left: Heir apparent. Will Chelsea extend the Clinton dynasty? (original photo). Right: Crowd pleaser. The adoring masses press Hillary after her June 7 exit. Third row — Left: Working-class heroine. Hillary found her voice and her core constituency, a bit too late. Right: Every woman's right to shoes. Hillary leaves big shoes to fill. Fourth row: Exit Hillary. The National Building Museum wasn't the party Hillary wanted, but she liked the company.
