       I dunno...according to Hillary it's a pretty big consipracy and
include the press and a former Clinton Chief-of-Staff.  In fact, about
the only person the administration has not accused of being in the
consipracy against the President is Ted Kennedy.

        You heard the response of the administration to a news
reporters question about the administration being the source of the
leaks to set up Starr didn't you?  "We appreciate the credit, but you
don't really think we're that smart do you?".  The reporter answered
"Yes."  It was Sam Donaldson I think.
