Secretary Clinton departs for Qatar and Saudi Arabia tomorrow, after a one-day delay due to her husband Bill’s heart procedure yesterday. The former U.S. president was back at the Clintons’ home in Chappaqua, N.Y., this morning, and he told the Associated Press, “I even did a couple miles on the treadmill today.”
