...planning to use confidential government information on two pending Whitewater investigations to try to hinder the probes. As the deadline neared, the White House offered a compromise, agreeing to relinquish the notes under certain conditions.

...OFFENDS ME THAT DOLE (AND CLINton too, for that matter) wants to be President so badly that he has placed more faith in the ''pros'' than in himself. It is my hope that voters will reject any candidate who chooses to abandon his or her past and trash core beliefs in the hope of winning an election. THOMAS CARSON Simsbury, Connecticut Via E-mail...
