...decide to defend himself so that any victory he has contains an element of redemption, not just victory. And he could go on the offensive. Certainly, stories about Dole's Aqua-Leisure contributions by way of Hong Kong are the moral equivalent of Al Gore's dubious, vegetarian fund raiser at the Buddhist temple. The word gotcha isn't glued to the word journalism for nothing. Freddy Kreuger came back enough times; so could the hatchet...
When a South Korean businessman expressed interest last April in being photographed with Bill Clinton, the Democratic National Committee was only too happy to sell him a $50,000 ticket to a presidential fund raiser. At first the deal worked precisely the way these things are supposed to. John Lee's company bought not one ticket but five; then Lee attended the dinner with several associates and walked away with his pictorial reward.

...attempt as "nationalizing" health care--the closest you can come to calling Clinton a socialist. Whatever people think of the President's tacking to accommodate the polls, a large majority are certain that Mrs. Clinton is an old-fashioned liberal. So recall what she said at a Democratic fund-raiser last spring (no matter that her aides insist she was speaking in jest). "Give Bill a second term, and I will be turned loose to do what we really want...
