<p>Clinton's campaign-finance reform may be less crusade than
retreat
</p>
<p> Some G.O.P. Senators are threatening a filibuster against
Clinton's new campaign-finance proposal. The plan calls for some
public financing of campaigns, and would bar big donors from
dodging contribution limits by funneling funds through a
presidential candidate's political party. The problem is that
the proposal is heavy on concessions to reform-shy Democratic
leaders and on retreats from Clinton's pledge to reduce the
maximum contribution by a political-action committee to a
congressional candidate from $5,000 to $1,000. Democratic
Representative Mike Synar complained, "What the public got with
this package does not meet their true test of reform."
