...average rational but open-minded American to resist the opinion-framing tendencies of the media and to evaluate individually and fairly the First Lady of the United States? The real problem for suspect political figures in general and for Hillary Rodham Clinton in particular is that more often than not, suspicion equals guilt. Once the media casts its shadow of doubt across one's political resume, the practical verdict--namely, how that individual will now be viewed--is sealed...

We must not condemn her simply for having a greater influence over her husband than...
...Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared on Friday before a Whitewater federal grand jury to testify behind closed doors about the mysterious reappearance at the White House of her missing law-firm billing records. Following the four-hour interrogation, she told reporters she was "glad" to have had the chance to repeat what she has always maintained: "I do not know how the billing records came to be found where they were found...
