Certainly the tax question hits a raw nerve. Presidential adviser Bruce Lindsey, a former Arkansas lawyer designated to field inquiries about Whitewater, angrily implies that TIME wants to write "a story that the Clintons are tax cheats." (Wrong: any underpayment could have been the result of excessively casual bookkeeping or following bad advice.) Lindsey also brandishes a folder containing copies of canceled checks that he says document all the Clintons' tax deductions related to Whitewater, which he insists are legitimate. But he refuses to make any public, complaining that the press would only report such information wrongly. The White House...

While Clinton's intervention may have forced management back to the bargaining table, it leaves unresolved the cost-cutting issues that gave rise to the dispute. None of that mattered, however, as jubilant flight attendants scrambled back to work. Among those holiday travelers heaving sighs of relief was Lindsey himself; on Wednesday night, the White House adviser boarded a previously booked flight home to Arkansas -- on American Airlines...
