Spring brings a change in the weather, and the first hopeful signs of new life. In Washington, D.C., the atmosphere warmed slightly and we saw the first sprouts of bipartisanship.

Sometimes, a First Family remains a first family — a mirror of our times — even after the president leaves office. So it is with the Clintons.
