page 156, My Life:
"Just a month before, Apollo 11 astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong had left their colleague, Michael Collins, aboard spaceship Columbia and walked on the moon...The old carpenter asked me if I really believed it happened. I said sure, I saw it on television. He disagreed; he said that he didn't believe it for a minute, that 'them television fellers' could make things look real that weren't. Back then, I thought he was a crank. During my eight years in Washington, I saw some things on TV that made me wonder if he wasn't ahead of his time."

克林顿， my life, page153
就在一个月前，阿波罗11号的宇航员巴兹·奥尔德林和尼尔·阿姆斯特朗离开了他们在哥伦比亚号飞船上的同事麦克尔·科林斯，踏上了月球，把肯尼迪总统希望在60年代结束前把人送上月球的目标提前了五个月。
老木匠问我是不是真相信有这么回事。我说当然，我在电视上看到了。他表示不同意，他说他压根儿就不信有这么回事儿——“那些玩电视的家伙可以把虚假的东西弄得很真实”。那时，我觉得他是个怪人。然而我在华盛顿后来的八年间，在电视上看到一些事情真让我寻思，这家伙是不是很有点儿先见之明。”
【解读】原先克林顿觉得怀疑登月是电视剧的这个老木匠是个怪人。可是，后来在华盛顿担任总统八年时间的政治经历，让他认识到幕后的黑幕——这老木匠可能有先见之明。作为一个总统，他对国家的幕后机密肯定是知道的，所以——“During my eight years in Washington, I saw some things on TV that made me wonder if he wasn’t ahead of his time.”——言下之意，就是电视演播不可信——那阿波罗的登月确实是假的。
