Noemie Emery: A life in the theater

Published February 5, 2013 5:00am ET



A great stage career went into hiatus Friday, when Hillary Clinton left her foreign policy gig for an undisclosed future, not telling where that future would take her or if there would be one at all.

In her life on the stage, she has had a career framed by two episodes of “60 Minutes” that aired 21 years apart. The first took place in February 1992, when she appeared with her husband to help him deal with the mess made by Gennifer Flowers. The second occurred Jan. 24, 2013, when she appeared with Barack Obama (her office husband), where they giggled and laughed like an old married couple as they tried to deal with the mess made by the unresolved murder of four Americans in Libya on Sept. 11, for which no coherent explanation has been given to this day.
