For years it has put its seal of acceptance on products that it has tested--at its own expense.

Says Kenneth Burrell of the A.D.A.'s Council on Scientific Affairs: "The A.D.A. seal is viewed very positively, and we didn't want to lose that...

The actor has copied the President's hair color, body language and a remarkably accurate honey-dipped Arkansas accent. "I'm really playing him," admits the actor, who studied hours of videotapes to prep for his latest face/off. "It's false p.r. for me to do it any other way...unless there are some legal issues I don't know about...
