O'49er - I don't think the absence of a slander suit is any test for the veracity of an article. every week we see outrageous stories in tabloids which are rarely challenged. I knew someone in Montreal who used to write articles for a publication called 'Midnight' He completely fabricated his stories, often about Jackie and Onassis, etc.

The Mail and others are on pretty safe ground - it's highly unlikely that there will be slander suits - I'm not sure how often a sitting President has taken an action for slander or libel in any event..

I'm told, but am not sure, that the laws of slander/libel are very lax in the States. Talk show hosts seem to say slanderous things nearly every night in their monologues, yet are rarely sued E

One shouldn't be surprised at a British newspaper dumping dirt on Clinton--he did what Bush and Reagan refused to do--give Jerry Adams, political wing of the IRA fame, a visa to enter the US to lobby in New York. (I'm for a united Ireland anyway.)

However to be fair to the British, it doesn't take a whole lot to find skeletons in Bill's closet, or interns for that matter. --Al
