THE DANGERS OF

PERSONAL POLITICAL ATTACKS

An Unpublished Letter to Los Angeles Times

I don't know whether or not President Clinton committed adultery and then perjury; but like anyone else, he should be presumed innocent unless proved guilty.

I do know, however, that such personal attacks are the political equivalent of chemical weapons: Because they are so terribly destructive -- and easy to come by -- they are banned by civilized nations, if for no reason other than to protect their own troops.

How disgusting can politics get? I'm afraid we'll all find out by November.
