Clinton and the vanishing press conference

WHITE PLAINS, United States: A podium, a microphone, journalists, questions—on the tarmac at the White Plains airport, Hillary Clinton revived an ancient tradition that she appeared to have forgotten: the press conference.

Standing in front of a plane emblazoned with the logo of her campaign—an immense "H" with a red arrow through it—she denounced Republican rival Donald Trump's "scary" ideas, sketched out her vision for the fight against terrorism, and accepted one last question as she turned toward the stairs.
