Moose, ice cream, and parades: A brief list of things Hillary Clinton likes

I had never seen a moose before. It was thrilling, and I felt compelled to tell Clinton about it within seconds of my arrival. "Oh, really? Wow," Clinton exclaimed with a big smile as she poured herself a cup of coffee. [...] She had seen a few in her day, she told me. "I've eaten moose, too," she said. "I've had moose stew." [The New York Times]

Clinton explained that during college she worked one summer in Alaska, washing dishes at a resort. She was 21, and her energy and freedom felt limitless; she took long hikes in the midnight sun. [The New York Times]

After long overseas trips as secretary of state, Clinton and her staff would unwind on the flight home by watching mindless movies; she tells of seeing the 2007 thriller Breach, in which a Russian spy declares: "I disapprove of women in pantsuits. Men wear pants. … The world doesn’t need any more Hillary Clintons." The plane busted out laughing, no one harder than the secretary. [The New York Times]

"I'd play out in the patch of sunlight that broke the density of the elms in front of our house and pretend there were heavenly movie cameras watching my every move." She wrote of how she craved all of the excitement and discoveries of life without losing "the little girl in the sunlight." [The New York Times]

"I like nearly everything." [The New York Times]

"I love parades. I love walking in parades." [The New York Times]
