THE CLINTON LEGACY

Some data has not been updated recently, thus this report is understated. In some cases, such as anomalous deaths, we have used an extremely conservative count. In considering these incidents, it is important to bear in mind the following:

* The fact that anomalies need to be investigated further carries no presumption of how a death actually occurred, only that there remains serious questions that require answers.

* The possibility of foul play must be taken seriously in a major criminal conspiracy in which over two score individuals and firms have already been convicted and over 100 witnesses have pled the Fifth Amendment or fled the country.

* If foul; play did occur in any of these cases, that fact by itself does not carry the presumption that the White House was involved. Given the footprints of organized crime, drug trade, foreign espionage, and intelligence agencies on the trail of the Clinton story, such a presumption would be ill-advised.
