WASHINGTON: It's getting dirty out there. House Judiciary Chair Henry Hyde got slung with a faceful of mud Wednesday night when it was revealed -- by the pro-Clinton netzine Salon -- that he had an extramarital affair with a married woman for five years back in the late 1960s.

Be very careful." In the online magazine Salon, a Clinton corner in cyberspace, an unidentified "close ally of the President" said White House hard liners wanted to go after the personal past of House Speaker Newt Gingrich, majority leader Dick Armey and Indiana Representative Dan Burton, the unblushing Clinton hater who not long ago called the President...
