well, let's talk about the mystery woman, christine blasey ford. there were rumors about her in the middle of the hearing, i believe, and apparently as you said, dianne feinstein's office had gotten this complaint. at some point her name came out, and there was a long procedure about would he or would she not testify. she came and testified. i think a lot of people who watched it on television said, my goodness, she's got a very vivid memory of a painful experience in high school. she was about 15, she says. brett kavanaugh was then about 17. she says she was sort of grabbed or attacked in this room and roughed up or something, and it lasted 5 or 10 minutes. but to this day she has seemed to have a particularly vivid memory of it. and judge kavanaugh said it never happened. he didn't know this -- he knew, i think had a heard of her name somewhere but didn't know her. one of the other people who were in the room had any confirmation of it. but what grow make of christine blasey ford, and how do you understand what she said, and what do you believe a
