also, let me state that in this New Yorker magazine, dated April 22, I believe--I do not have my glasses with me-- there is a splendid article entitled ``How Independent Is the Counsel,'' once again, talking about the conflicts, talking about the image that this man who is burdened with these conflicts presents as he is attempting to portray that he is fair-minded, objective, and impartial in finding all the facts.
