...this: If the market is ready to embrace such a costly settlement--and antitobacco forces, realizing they're getting nowhere fast in their legal battles, will go for it--how can tobacco executives refuse? Wouldn't a deal be best for everyone? I don't mean to be callous. Clearly there are moral issues here. But let's face it, litigation ultimately comes down to compensation. Nobody sues for a righteous apology...

True enough, Bill Clinton misrepresented our record in the last election. But he could not have succeeded in making the GOP look so callous if we had not made it so easy for him. We must work hard to reach out to women, to immigrants, to minorities and to children--not because they will allow us to win elections, but because they are the people who make up America and they are the people who need a place at our national table and a voice in our national politics...
