All- I hate to change the subject but with the market up 70 today it looks like the general concensus is this will come to nothing or it doesn't matter if Bill or Al is the president. Actually, for financial purposes this is probably the best thing that can happen to the market. Both parties are arguing over this scandal so they don't have time to make new laws or regulations that will continue to hamper business.

Janice, Are you suggesting that Ed Bradly gave Kathy Willey questions prior to the interview, so she could rehearse the answers ? I have no idea. She would certainly have been prepared by her own lawyer. BUT: from what everyone's said here, it doesn't seem that she was asked any even mildly tough questions. It seems to me likely that ground rules of some kind were established in return for her agreeing to do the interview. I can think of quite a few questions that would probably have upset her calm demeanor.

John, I would have to agree with you about Browning and Flowers. I saw the interview with Browning, and she is bright and seemed quite credible. I think one of the things which I read in a newsmagazine last week--I am not sure which one, sorry--may help the defamation of character charge a little more comprehensible. According to the report, after relations between Browning and Clinton fell apart totally in 1992, her sister, who is an attorney in Little Rock, acted as the intermediary to establish ground rules where Clinton and Browning agreed that she would not use either of the "A" words--adultery or affair--and he would not challenge her credibility. Perhaps someone else read this, or can explain it better, however. It is Browning's perception that the president broke that agreement, as far as I can tell. Obviously he may feel she broke it as well, but I am just providing information, and have no particular desire to debate that point. Only the two of them really know what happened. Gennifer Flowers was on ABC this morning, and she also seemed very credible, as I have thought she did in the past. One thing she brought up that I was not aware of is her contention that the tapes she has of conversations with Clinton--just deny it, etc.--were examined by a company called Truth Verification Corp. or something like that, which she said was a very reputable company in this field--and had been certified as complete and not tampered with in any way.
