Fred Thompson is done being coy. Only a few??minutes after his 10 rivals for the Republican presidential nomination finished debating in New Hampshire on June 5, Thompson appeared on Fox News and unveiled his campaign website. Within 18 hours, more than 25,000 people had paid the virtual candidate a visit, contributing some $220,000. Not bad, but not exactly explosive either...

The investigators are aware that what Dean said was discussed on March 13 actually came up on the March 21 tape; Dean later conceded that he had probably got the two conversations mixed up. A few???but not all?of the Watergate investigators wonder whether the tapes were doctored in order to establish a later date for the President's learning of the Watergate coverup. One reason for their suspicion: all through the Watergate hearings, it was believed that the final payment of hush money...
