So it will be up to the Clinton administration to either accept responsibility for the lapses on its watch or lop off enough internal heads to defuse the report's impact -- or a combination of both. Or it could go into major denial mode. "If you're looking at this presidency," said White House spokesman Joe Lockhart Monday, "I can't point to a case where we know something was stolen...

The agreement had been held up by a dispute over authorization of on-site inspections in the case of a "suspicious" event, such as seismic readings indicative of a test.
