...further titillation back in Washington. "She's a very active person," protested Mondale spokesman Steve Lefkowitz. "When the President is in L.A., she usually goes running with him," added Eleanor's brother, Minnesota political hopeful Ted Mondale. A month later, Eleanor told the Chicago Tribune that rumors of an affair between her and Clinton were "totally, totally false." As if to drive the point home to Illinois readers, she told the rival Chicago Sun-Times: "I don't think we would have carried on this affair in front of Barbra Streisand and people like that...
WASHINGTON: It's getting dirty out there. House Judiciary Chair Henry Hyde got slung with a faceful of mud Wednesday night when it was revealed -- by the pro-Clinton netzine Salon -- that he had an extramarital affair with a married woman for five years back in the late 1960s.

"They don't need any of my help on that...
...embarrass and intimidate political enemies by dredging up ancient sex scandals and leaking them to the press. After Dan Burton and Henry Hyde each got slimed at extraordinarily opportune times, who could blame them? The webzine Salon denies that their story about Hyde's 30-year-old extramarital affair came from the White House, but the bomb threat against their San Francisco offices Friday suggests that not everybody is convinced. Majority Whip Tom DeLay has already asked the FBI to investigate whether Salon's scoop can be traced to the West Wing. Intimidation, he suggests, might be added...
