Linda talks with James Stewart, whose new book "Blood Sport" chronicles the Whitewater affair. Stewart has been criticized by some for the "novelization" of this story. Assertions like "Jim McDougall thought" and "Mrs. Clinton presumed" left many wondering how based in fact his account really was. Stewart defends his work, and concludes that the entire Whitewater affair raises questions about how Mr. and Mrs. Clinton could have better dealt with the situation, without letting it cast a shadow on his administration and without hurting many eager public servants who came to Washington from Arkansas and were inevitably burned by Whitewater.
