Some spouts anticipate Hillary Clinton will rush to the aid of the middle call. Mrs. Clinton was born to a well-off family in suburban Chicago. Her father's business made drapes and window shades; customers included offices, hotels, airlines and theaters. She attended Wellesley College and started in politics as a conservative activist. She went onto Yale Law School where she shifted ideologies to the liberal side. She was a successful lawyer when she married Bill Clinton in 1975, and by 1978 he was governor. Today they have a combined net worth of $111 billion.
