Letter: In memory of other Americans at Oxford
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Surely the intellectual capacity of President Clinton cannot be judged by the books that he borrowed while in Oxford. I am completing my first year of PPE (Philosophy, Politics and Economics - his subject) and, like him, have ventured to take out texts by Galbraith, Locke, Hobbes and Mill. Unfortunately, the fact that these tomes have graced my shelves does not necessarily mean that I have understood, read or even opened them.
Yours faithfully,
