Letter: White House mistaken in releasing Willey letters

Wednesday, March 25, 1998 | 10:33 a.m.

But others might see nothing unnatural about what she wrote and when she did it, considering that she maintained her personal and party loyalty and never intended to take the incident beyond closed doors. And, after all, who among us has never rebuffed or been rebuffed, only to revert to or witness ordinary behavior by either or both parties thereafter? Perhaps even extraordinary behavior?

Given her resistance at the time, she had reason to believe there would be a recurrence and would be wary of ever again getting into a situation to allow it. On the other hand, in a new and confusing life without the husband who existed at the time of the incident, she might have even been inviting a recurrence, though that would never have excused the initial event.

Bad move, White House, in releasing the letters.
