While the G.O.P. was turning up the heat, so was Clinton, but to somewhat less effect. All week he phoned House members to remind them that there was "a lot of good stuff" in the crime bill.

...allegations made on the tapes are true -- merely that, in Crane's words, they form "the basis of an investigation." So why was Falwell actually selling a tape making accusations that he cannot vouch for?
