...President Clinton or former First Lady Hillary Clinton of any crimes related to the failed Whitewater real estate development. A headline in the London Independent labeled it "The most expensive exoneration in history." Obviously different observers have different takes on the significance of the Whitewater scandal. But it is sad to note that after months of media buildup, the final report on the matter has gotten less attention than Paula Jones' recent celebrity boxing match...

Rather, I was sad to see how eagerly these bright young people piled on to heap self-righteous condemnation on a scholar whose too-close-paraphrasing of a few passages even the Crimson editors had to acknowledge was “unintentional...
