And practitioners in both major parties distinguish between "political pornography" and legitimate inquiry into public statements and actions that might bear on an opponent's fitness to hold office. Fred Malek, manager of the Bush campaign, says his campaign's research efforts are aimed at scanning old and current news stories and other public records and coding them into computers by topic, "so that we can pull it up quickly whenever we need...
