Hi Michael, This president's undying popularity will always be a mystery to me. As I have stated previously, I think his ability to get away with so much by virtue of his charm is what makes many men dislike him so much. We are reminded of the phoney guy we knew in high school whom all the teachers loved. Also, don't forget the "Prechter syndrome" of the forgiving and inclusive nature of a people during good economic times. Had we been in recession during all of this, the people might have been clamoring for his head. Off to work! Let's see what today brings. Jack

Now, now, Michael-- At this point it seems as if there are two possibilities: 1) Clinton and Lewinsky had a consensual affair. Neither is a "victim". 2) There was no affair; Lewinsky made it up. In this case Clinton most certainly is a "victim", but his reputation (and "friendly" personality, no doubt) made him especially vulnerable: the public would believe her story. As you know, I believe Number 2 to be a possibility well worth considering. But IF the tale is true, neither was a victim of the other; both were victims of a disloyal friend, a prurient public, and a press interested more in sensation than in substance. (Not that it hasn't been fun, mind you...) Janice
