[Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: William J. Clinton (1998, Book II)] [August 4, 1998] [Page 1395] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office www.gpo.gov]Statement on the Death of Arthur Barbieri August 4, 1998 Hillary and I are deeply saddened by the death of Arthur Barbieri. New Haven has lost a great political leader; I have lost a mentor and a friend. When I was a law student, I was lucky enough to work by Arthur's side and learn grassroots politics at its absolute best. I'm forever grateful for all that he taught me. Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones.
