Bill Clinton: What was missing from speech in support of Hillary?

IT WAS a glowing tribute to his beloved wife, the woman who aims to make history by becoming President of the United States of America.

There was 1997, when daughter Chelsea went to college, and then, just like that, we were in 1999.
But there was one year missing. A year it’s probably best not to bring up when you’re trying to sell the audience a story of your happy marriage.
In all of Clinton’s speech, 1998 was completely absent. But why? After all, during 1998, a number of notable events occurred. The Winter Olympics took place in Japan, France beat Brazil in the World Cup final and Titanic took out 11 Oscars.
