What Clinton's aides all knew for sure was what their guts were telling them: if the story was true, it was meltdown time. But maybe it was containable. A supermarket tabloid, they figured, might not be the most credible accuser.

Clinton is on a four-day, five-state campaign before arriving in Chicago to accept the Democratic nomination. The trip, which will take him through West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan and Indiana, is designed to whip up excitement for a convention that promises few surprises. Each day the President will unveil a proposed second-term initiative to show he is a do-something leader.
