But how can he do that in this atmosphere of recrimination? This morning Judge Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill will appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The session will challenge many involved in the hearings. Thomas must avoid seeming evasive and convincingly argue that he did nothing to justify Ms. Hill's accusations.

Democratic Senators must show that they are seriously considering Ms. Hill's charges while trying to get at the truth and not just at Thomas. In a recent interview on CNN, Senator Hillary Clinton said of Thomas, "I think he's got some explaining to do."
