[0:00] They've hit heavy flack. Are the pundits

[0:03] being too harsh too soon? Al Gore gets a

[0:07] chance to return fire. Now, here's Larry

[0:12] King.

[0:14] Good evening from Washington. Here

[0:15] inside the beltway, where perception

[0:17] counts for as much as reality, the

[0:19] Clinton White House has a perception

[0:21] problem. The administration's working on
