Description

Paul Woodley reports from the United States on pre-Presidential election reports in the New York press that President George H. W. Bush had an extra-marital affair several years ago with a British-born divorcee, Jennifer Fitzgerald, who was his appointment secretary, and who is now deputy head of protocol at the US State Department. The question now being asked in America is how credible is the allegation and what effect might it have on the election? Includes interview with Joe Trento, co-author (along with Susan Trento) of book, The Power House; press statement by President Bush; Bill Clinton, presidential candidate.
