The list is highly repetitious -- some might say petty -- and contains mistakes that would shame a county lawyer. "Do you admit or deny that on or about Dec. 28, 1998 ?" begins one query. Nevertheless, it would be hard to snub it altogether -- since Clinton has promised to cooperate fully with the House inquiry, the White House needs to show at least some goodwill.
