...resumed his Whitewater hearings last week after a two-month hiatus during which the Senate slapped an absolute deadline of June 14 on him. With only seven weeks left to find a smoking gun, D'Amato called fresh prey to the stand: former Clinton chief of staff Betsey Wright. As Libby, the most vivid supporting character in Primary Colors, Wright was portrayed as a wild-eyed, foul-mouthed, daft Dustbuster, so excitable that much of her dialogue in the book is in capital letters.

"'The street level of what Johnson is saying is, 'We can just believe the Bible and don't need to worry about it.' But it plays right into the hands of the Seminar, and there's a huge price to be paid for that. The challenge of the Enlightenment has always been, 'Oh, we know what Jesus was, and it shows Christianity was a mistake.' I'm trying to say, It's hard work...
