...President of the United States might have fooled around with an intern and then tried to hush her up, the second installment dared us to trust him. The first week was an All-Starr game, in which a crusading prosecutor, after 3 1/2 frustrating years of sniffing through sour Arkansas land deals, suddenly swooped down on the White House, subpoenas in hand, FBI agents in tow, asserting his right to ask just about anyone just about anything that had to do with the President's most intimate acts. Even people disgusted by what the President might have done were disturbed...

...Like the Raiders, the KC Line is playing out a season turned sour. But unlike the Raiders, KC says, even down eight games, that the season's not over and the opportunities are at hand.
