Where’S Chelsea?

The question rocketed around Camp Bondsteel, a huge military base Tuesday in the American-controlled sector of Kosovo as word spread that Chelsea was accompanying President Clinton on his morale-boosting visit. The first daughter drew all the attention when she preceded her father into a tent where he was about to give a speech. Within moments, the 19-year-old college sophomore was in the midst of U.S. troops, smiling and reaching out to shake their hands. She was such a hit that the president’s arrival failed to stir much notice. Taking the stage with little fanfare, Clinton said, “From the reception you gave my daughter, I though he (the introducer) was going to say I was Chelsea’s father, too.” Chelsea, taking a break from classes at Stanford University, accompanied the president throughout his 10-day trip to Turkey, Greece, Italy, Bulgaria and the Yugoslav republic of Kosovo.
