You've got to feel for Chelsea. "Things will never be the same for her as a
daughter or as a woman," says Parent Time editor Amy Barr. "Even for a
19-year-old trained in childhood to have a thick skin, this has got to be
the nadir of life in the fishbowl." On the cusp of adulthood, Chelsea's
trust in the most important man in her life has been severely tested -- if
not shattered -- by the fact that he lied to her about a tryst with a woman
only six years her senior. But the demands of Clinton family public life
are relentless: Chelsea was out working a rope line with her parents
Wednesday, and will spend 12 days cloistered in a Martha's Vineyard
compound with the feuding first couple.
