Students walking through the Student Center could not help but overhear the guilt-ridden voice of President Clinton. Across the , millions witnessed a testimony laden with legal loopholes, denials and outright lies. But the unjust part of Monday's fiasco is not that Clinton lied. We already knew that. In an unprecedented show of disregard for legal prece- dent and confidentiality, Clinton's Aug. 17 grand jury testi- mony, in which he denied an affair, was aired. Whether the reason was to inform or to embarrass, the grand jury tapes never should have been released. This is essentially Congress'call.
