CANTON, Ohio -- Ohio's National First Ladies Library won't make a special place for Bill Clinton if Hillary Rodham Clinton is elected president.

Library president and founder Mary Regula says if former President Clinton or others become "first men," they'll have to "build their own thing," in her words.

The wife of retiring Congressman Ralph Regula dismisses any suggestion that the name be changed to the National First Spouses Library. She says the site in Canton is a tribute to women only, and not just first ladies but also other women who have made history, such as former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

Besides, library executive director Pat Krider says Bill Clinton already has a library, his presidential one in Little Rock, Ark.
