Asked whether Congressman Gary Condit (D-CA) might have had a role in the disappearance of his intern Chandra Levy, with whom police learned he was having an affair after lying about it for weeks, one of his constituents said, "That's his personal life. It's none of our business."

[Ed.: In a subsequent letter to his constituents, Condit said: "I hope you will understand that I am not perfect and have made my share of mistakes." Leaving out the words "promptly" and "truthfully," Condit insisted: "I have not been silent with those in charge of finding Chandra. I have answered every single question asked by the police and FBI."]
