"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."

克林頓， my life, page153
就在一個月前，阿波羅11號的宇航員巴茲·奧爾德林和尼爾·阿姆斯特朗離開了他們在哥倫比亞號飛船上的同事麥克爾·科林斯，踏上了月球，把肯尼迪總統希望在60年代結束前把人送上月球的目標提前了五個月。
老木匠問我是不是真相信有這麽回事。我說當然，我在電視上看到了。他表示不同意，他說他壓根兒就不信有這麽回事兒——“那些玩電視的家夥可以把虛假的東西弄得很真實”。那時，我覺得他是個怪人。然而我在華盛頓後來的八年間，在電視上看到一些事情真讓我尋思，這家夥是不是很有點兒先見之明。”
【解讀】原先克林頓覺得懷疑登月是電視劇的這個老木匠是個怪人。可是，後來在華盛頓擔任總統八年時間的政治經曆，讓他認識到幕後的黑幕——這老木匠可能有先見之明。作為一個總統，他對國家的幕後機密肯定是知道的，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，就是電視演播不可信——那阿波羅的登月確實是假的。
