Miss Martin, who has had little cause for glee, gleefully called for a Senate Ethics Committee investigation, and Simon’s response has thus far been as suspect as a barmaid’s blush. “In public-relations terms, I would not do it again,” Simon told reporters. “In terms of substance, I would do it again.”

During the two debates scheduled in October, this may prove especially damaging to Simon, a man who has carefully cultivated an image of rectitude. In this regard, his earlier, highly moralistic sermonettes on the S&L mess don’t help.
