Abstract

Essay by Michael Kinsley concerning allegations in the New York City tabloids `Post' and `Daily News' on Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton's past extramarital activities. Hope the 1987-88 Gary Hart episode would clarify the issue: a possible unwritten rule that only ongoing goings-on count; Three questions on this ripe topic: what level of proof is required, should such stories be repressed, are past extramarital affairs relevant; The press in the position of censor; Ultimately the voters decide.
