For a more conventional review of Isikoff, you might try search.nytimes.com . . . Several months later, as Linda Tripp and Lucianne Goldberg tried to orchestrate Clinton's downfall using Isikoff as their vehicle, he began, he says, ''for the first time really, to feel strange myself about what was going on -- and what I was doing.'' He realized something ''that should have been apparent much earlier: I was in the middle of a plot to get the President.'' Like Woodward and Bernstein, who freely acknowledged their mistakes and their ethical lapses, Isikoff confesses to error and to crossing the line of proper reporting while trying to negotiate ''treacherous and uncharted territory.'' Isikoff is apparently an entirely inferior being compared to the bastions of logic and reason here, though. ''This was not Watergate,'' Isikoff writes in his epilogue. ''But that doesn't mean it wasn't right to undertake the enterprise.'' If journalism is the first draft of history, let him have the last word on this second draft: ''There are no easy answers here.'' Whatever "here" Isikoff is talking about, it isn't this fetid forum.
