Though he assured the Senate Select Committee on Standards and Conduct that he had "nothing to hide," Thomas Dodd had a lot to explain. Defending himself before six of his peers last week against charges of misconduct, the senior Senator from Connecticut lengthily and indignantly denied any wrongdoing.
