00:00Who here knows about Anita Hill?

00:19The sexual harassment storm around Clarence Thomas is intensifying.

00:23I trust that the Senate will confirm this able man promptly.

00:28I knew what I had to do.

00:30I'm going to tell what happened to me.

00:31She had no idea that she was walking into the political lion's den.

00:37You swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God?

00:40I do.

00:41I can only imagine how difficult it must have been with her testifying.

01:35He was much more graphic.

01:37There were a lot of facts that they didn't want the public to know.

02:00Yes I am drawing that conclusion.

02:02So then I don't understand.

02:07Well let me try to explain again.
