Clinton Concessions

Clinton's been cleared to give a live radio and television address during his visit to China later this month. Beijing usually shuns live broadcasts for fear that things may go wrong (Clinton's been urged at home to say something about American values and human rights). Callers to a radio program will be screened, and the in-studio TV audience will be carefully selected. Meantime, authorities have ordered bookshops in cities Clinton will visit to remove from their shelves a book about Clinton's purported dalliances, The Sensual President -- Bill Clinton.
