"It would be unfair to say that Rather (Dan Rather interviewed Clinton on CBS television in the USA) pitched nothing but softballs, but in none of the six interviews he has had with Clinton over the past dozen years has Rather ever shown the combativeness he did in confrontations with Richard Nixon.
"To see how Clinton reacts under that kind of cross-examination, we'll have to wait for an interview on the BBC this week, where British journalist David Dimbleby asks Clinton just how genuine his contrition over the Lewinsky affair really is. Clinton's response, reportedly, is anything but vintage Slick Willie."
