At dinner the other night in Washington I was sitting next to Robert Redford. Actually, this is a slight fib. I was in a restaurant called Nora’s – which, incidentally, was the first organic restaurant in the capital – and he was at the next table. He is a man of stature; that is, he has heights attached to his shoes. He was also the polar opposite of butch, rather stringy with bad skin.
My friend and I wondered what he was doing in Washington. Obviously not dining at the White House as Mr Redford’s political proclivities tend to the left-side. We guessed he might be lending support to Hillary Clinton’s campaign for, erm, herself. Will she run for president? The general view is that she will not.
She has vowed to serve her full term. But there is always a possibility that Mrs Clinton might do what Robert Kennedy did.
