TRYING TO MISLEAD REGULATORS? Rose Law Firm, in which Hillary Clinton was a partner, represented Madison Guaranty for a retainer of $2,000 a month, and in 1985 Mrs. Clinton presented to a regulator appointed by her husband a plan for a sale of preferred stock to shore up the S&L's finances.

Zhirinovsky's past pledge to reincorporate Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania into Russia had leaders of the three Baltic republics huddling to shore up international support for their independence. As editorialists in the capitals of Western Europe and Asia warned of "dangerous fascism," Vice President Al Gore cast Zhirinovsky's views as "reprehensible and anathema to all freedom-loving people...
