By the end, in answer to Clinton&146;s rhetorical question about his &147;responsibility&133;to help other people,&148; Fallows somehow feels compelled to explain to us that &147;I basically believe him&148; as though we couldn&146;t already see his...http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/2003/03/clinton.htm North Korea- February 5, 2003 'A Sea of Fire,' or Worse.
