But the White House almost overdid it. Despite its insistence that the President wasn't muscling fence-sitting Democrats, some members were furious at even the appearance of pressure.

His father told him "it was nothing"--that he would just take Michael's mother to the hospital. When she never came out, Michael was furious--at God: "a bastard. This woman had run back, saying, 'I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry,' and now he had killed...
