Daniel, Welcome back. The articles you present are interesting and necessary, so I hope you will stay. I know it will be next to impossible for us to have a civil debate, so would you agree if we ignored each other's posts ? JBL

Look: Nation's most liberal paper calls on Clinton to explain himself. I suppose this is just another member of the Clinton hate club for you. A BOSTON GLOBE EDITORIAL Clinton must come clean Only two people know if Juanita Broaddrick is telling the truth about what happened in a Little Rock hotel room 21 years ago. The country heard from one of them in Broaddrick's seemingly credible interview on ''Dateline NBC'' last week. She said Bill Clinton, then attorney general of Arkansas and a candidate for governor, raped her. The country must hear from the president: not through his lawyer but directly, in a national address. The seriousness of this charge demands a response in kind. An accusation of rape cannot be dismissed as just another ''bimbo eruption'' or one more randy rumor about a man's sexual escapades. Broaddrick's allegation of sexual assault is something quite different, for it accuses the man who is now president of committing a violent crime. Juanita Broaddrick's accusation, if true, cannot be judged in the light of politics. It is about callous brutality. She may be lying, and her story could indeed have politics at its core. If so, the president should loudly deny it, even at the risk of being ridiculed for another impassioned assertion of his nonrelationship with a woman. The truth is more important than the ridicule. If the truth is in between - that there was sex but it was consensual - Clinton should say that. Juanita Broaddrick has not flinched at the skeptics critical of her for first filing an affidavit denying the assault and later recanting to the FBI. She told NBC's Lisa Myers that she had to tell the truth publicly now because she ''couldn't hold it in any longer.'' She said she did not go to police in 1978 because she thought no one would believe her. She said she blamed herself - a sadly common reaction of rape victims, even in the more enlightened 1990s. While her story is no longer legally relevant after 21 years, it is still morally relevant, for it concerns the man elected to lead a nation. It's time for Bill Clinton to tell us who that man is.
