Feinstein 'can't forgive' Condit

Collins. I, too, am also troubled by the allegations concerning Monica
Lewinsky because they raise abuse of power issues, which ought to be
troubling to female officeholders.
Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) said Willey's charges can't go on unanswered.
It would be helpful if the president would make a statement to the nation
about what the truth is. It's very troubling.
Asked what she would do if the charges against Clinton prove to be true,

Mrs. Boxer went further, saying that Mrs. Willey has made serious charges
