4B SI LOUIS POST-DISPATCH SATURDAY. OCTOBER 12. 1991 THE THOMAS NOMINATION Senators' Options Are Stark And Only Two: He Lied Or She Did I- 4 Like the Army-McCarthy bearings and the Watergate hearings, Friday's high drama took place not only on Capitol Hill but In the larger theater of television, and the conclusions reached around the country will be fed back to the Senate. Indeed, that has already happened at one crucial juncture. It was Hill's convincing demeanor in her first televised news conference, combined with what looked to many people like the Senate's indifference, that detonated the public rage that prompted Friday's hearings.

On Friday, the Judiciary Committee members, all men, who had been criticized earlier for lnsensitiv-tty to the sexual harassment issue, had their female aides in prominent positions in the hearing room, very visible on television. The senators who questioned Hill did all they could to avoid appearing to bully the witness. Even the pro-Thomas forces' designated questioner of her veracity, Sen. Arlen Specter, a former prosecutor, made a show of sollcltousness, almost apologizing when he challenged her, and taking a lot of time to demonstrate that he and his colleagues knew far less about her accusations when they decided last week that they did not need to hear her. Sen.

Orrin G. Hatch, R-Utah, has been saying for days that neither Thomas nor Hill would emerge whole from this week's ordeal. The reputations of American politics, politicians and political Institutions, already terribly tattered, seem unlikely to fare a lot better. By R.W.Apple Jr. 1991.

Ntw York Timet Newt Service WASHINGTON THE CHOICES presented to the Senate by Friday's lurid, gut-wrenching proceedings on Capitol Hill could hardly have been much starker. By the time Professor Anita Hill finished her 'testimony, filled with vivid and often excruciating -sexual detail that few people had anticipated, the senators who must vote Tuesday were left with only two options: Either she was telling the truth or she is a sociopath. Either these horrifying events took place or tShe, for some reason, invented them. What she said, and what Judge Clarence Thomas -said in his equally powerful testimony, made it 'crystal clear that this was no case of tragic misunderstandings nor of ambiguous conversations that could be interpreted as sexual harassment or not, depending on one's frame of reference or state of mind. Either he Mid these wretched things to her things that one associates with the seamiest of criminal cases or the raunchiest of locker rooms or he not Yes or no.

Up or down. If Thomas did say those things, few senators vote to confirm him as a member of the Supreme Court So a vote to confirm Thomas in the rawest political terms will mean that the Senator thinks Hill fabricated (or was fed) these NEWS ANALYSIS "ugly" incidents and phrases. Such a vote will not be easy for the jury of 100 senators, a group of professional politicians, a third of whom face re-election next year. They have already been burned by the wrath of women when Judiciary Committee members seemed willing to brush off Hill's allegations earlier this week. The vote to confirm will be harder because Thomas' defenders struggled all Friday, with limited success, to suggest what kind of twisted motive Hill might have bad for telling monstrous lies.

The vote to confirm will be hardest for the Democrats, and the arithmetic gives them the upper hand. If 51 of the 57 Democrats vote 'no' on the nomination, then Thomas will not make it to the court To bring about that result only about five or six of the Democrats who had Intended to support Thomas before Hill's allegations became public would have to change their minds. Robert H. Bork, who was rejected for the Supreme Court In another such proceeding, plainly spoke for more than himself when he said, acting as a network analyst, "The process has steadily degenerated, and now It's become a Roman circus." Increasingly, people are asking what sort of person could withstand the ceaseless, intrusive examination of his or her private life to which Thomas has been subjected, and what sort of potential public servant would be willing to submit to it Reuters listening to in Friday's Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas (left) Sen.

Danforth, during a break hearing. Thomas Hill's Team Includes Expert On Job Bias or substance that you could ruin her career? Thomas: No. Hatch: Now, did you ever say to Professor Hill in words or substance and this is embarrassing for me to say In public but it has to be done, and I'm sure it's not pleasing to you did you ever say in words or substance something like there is a pubic hair in my Coke? Thomas: No, Senator. Hatch: Did you ever refer to your private parts in conversations with Professor Hill? Thomas: Absolutely not Senator. Hatch: Did you ever brag to Professor Hill about your sexual prowess? Thomas: No, Senator.

mals, and that you told her that she should see such films, and that you liked to discuss specific sex acts and the frequency of sex. What about that? Thomas: Senator, I would not want to except being required to here to dignify those allegations with a response. As I have said before, I categorically deny them. To me, I have been pilloried with scurrilous allegations of this nature, I have denied them earlier, and I deny them tonight Hatch: At any time, did you say to Professor Hill that she could ruin your career if she talked about sexual comments you allegedly made to her? Thomas: No. Hatch: Did you say to her in words WASHINGTON (AP) Anita Hill was accompanied at Friday's Senate hearing by a legal team quickly assembled this week after it became clear she would be called to testify.

The team includes one of the nation's foremost authorities on employ merit-discrimination law, a prominent practicing lawyer and a Harvard law professor. Sitting behind Hill throughout Friday's session were Susan Deller Ross, Warner Gardner and Charles Ogletree. Ross is a Georgetown University law professor and noted expert on laws aimed at eradicating sexual bias. Her Georgetown colleague Emma Coleman Jordan also attended the hearing as a legal team member: 3 Gardner is the founding partner of Shea and Gardner, a Washington law firm. The firm represented the fedeh al judge who presided over District of Columbia Mayor Marion Barry's trial on drug charges when the judge found it necessary to defend his decision to bar two spectators.

Ogletree Is a member of the Harvard law faculty. 4 our country. This is a travesty. You spent the entire day destroying what it has taken me 43 years to build, and providing a forum for that Heflin: Well, Judge Thomas, you know, we have a responsibility, too. And as far as I'm involved, I had nothing to do with Anita Hill coming here and testifying.

We're trying to get to the bottom of this, and if she is lying, then I think you can help us prove that she was lying. Thomas: Senator, I am incapable of proving the negative. It did not occur. Sen. Hatch: Judge Thomas, I've sat here and I've listened all day long, and Anita Hill was very impressive.

She is an impressive law professor. She is a Yale law graduate. And when she met with the FBI, she said that you told her about your sexual experiences and preferences She said to the FBI that you told her about your sexual experiences and preferences, that you asked her what she liked, or if she had ever done the same thing, that you discussed oral sex between men and women, that you discussed viewing films of people having sex with each other and with ani- From page one there. Each of these positions is public Service, and I have given at the office. I want my life and my family's life back, and I want them returned expeditiously.

Instead of understanding and appreciating the great honor bestowed upon me, I find myself here today defending my name, my integrity, because somehow select portions of confidential documents dealing with this matter were leaked to the public There is nothing this committee, this body, or this country can do to give me my good name back. Nothing. Here are excerpts from Thomas' testimony Friday night: Sen. Heflin: Now, you, I suppose, have heard Ms. Professor Hill's Ms.

Hill Anita F. Hill testify today. Thomas: No, I haven't Heflin: You didn't listen to her testimony at all? Thomas: No, I didn't I've heard enough lies.

at BOPP Chapel, 10610 Manchester Kirkwood. In- terment private. Visitation tdL 3-9 p.m. tfjl Hill at least three occasions been asked to act as a conduit to him for others It is only after a great deal of agonizing consideration that I am able to talk of these unpleasant matters to anyone except my closest friends. As I've said before, these last few days have been very trying and very hard for me, and it hasn't just been the last few days this week.

It has actually been over a month now that I have been under the strain of this issue. Telling the world is the most difficult experience of my life, but it is very close to having to live through the experience that occasions this meeting. I may have used poor judgment early on in my relationship with this issue. I was aware, however, that telling at any point in my career could adversely affect my future career. And I did not want early on to burn all the bridges to the EEOC.

I have no personal vendetta against Clarence Thomas. I seek only to provide the committee with information which it may regard as relevant. It would have been more comfortable to remain silent. I took no initiative to inform anyone. But when I was asked by a representative of this committee to report my experience, I felt that I had to tell the truth.

I could not keep silent. From page one speech that I had done for him while we were at the Office for Civil Rights. Finally, he made a comment that I will vividly remember. He said that if I ever told anyone of his behavior that it would ruin his career. This was not an apology, nor was it an explanation.

That was his last remark about the possibility of our going out or reference to his behavior. In July of 1983, 1 left the Washington, D.C, area and have had minimal contact with Judge Clarence Thomas since. I am of course aware from the press that some questions have been raised about conversations I had with Judge Clarence Thomas after I left the EEOC. From 1983 until today, I have seen Judge Thomas only twice. On one occasion, I needed to get a reference from him, and on another he made a public appearance in Tulsa.

On one occasion he called me at home and we had an inconsequential conversation. On one occasion he called me without reaching me, and I returned the call without reaching him, and nothing came of it I have on OBITUARIES Comedian Redd Foxx; 'Sanford And Son' Star HOPE, LUCILLE Oct. 11, 1991, fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church, wife of the late Carl C.
