- The tape recordings that I have heard certainly seem to indicate that

- The story she made up is so wild that if Mack accepted it, as he seems
- to have done, then it is not exactly a commendation time for him. the
- fact that he disagrees with her at this time and after she came
- forward is not terribly newsworthy. If he had come forward or could
- present some evidence to refute her claims, which seem to be backed up
- by the tapes, it would help his case.
