Potential good news for Clinton-bashers from the latest Zogby poll on presidential greatness: The public's rating of perhaps the greatest White House Lothario ever is finally on the way down. Bad news for Clinton-bashers: THE SCRAPBOOK refers not to the sitting president but to JFK, who has slipped in the latest rankings from second to third, following FDR and Truman.

So a mere three and a half decades after JFK's frolics in the White House pool with Fiddle and Faddle, those pesky approval ratings seem to have begun their slide -- assisted in large part, the pollsters speculate, by the recent publication of Seymour Hersh's The Dark Side of Camelot. The kicker: Most of those whose opinion sank were "people too young to remember the Kennedy years."
