Hard Choices
edit... that promotional stops for former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's new memoir Hard Choices have had the air of a political campaign without the campaign?

- New enough (though today is the last day it will be so), long enough (more than 5x the minimum of 1500 characters), no copyvios, plenty of inline citations,
almost G2G except the hook seems kind of biased. IDK if we should state the opinion of any one person, even someone writing for CNN, as an undisputed fact. Maybe replace "have had" with something like "have been compared" (but OTOH maybe this doesn't really matter). Jinkinson talk to me 20:29, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

- There are three sources given for the book signing events being like a campaign stop, not just CNN. I'm not enthusiastic about using "have been compared" because that sounds wishy-washy. But if you don't like that hook, how about some others:
- ALT1 ... that former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's new memoir Hard Choices is so titled because that is how she frames the foreign policy situations encountered during her tenure?
- ALT2 ... that in writing her new memoir Hard Choices, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was assisted by three others?
- ALT3 ... that several excerpts from former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's new memoir Hard Choices were released ahead of its publication date as part of promotional efforts?
- But I think the original is still the 'hookiest' of these. Wasted Time R (talk) 10:52, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
