Lee Atwater's Deathbed Repentance

Click here for a January 13, 1991, article in The New York Times entitled "Gravely Ill, Atwater Offers Apology.

In a detailed and candid article about his career and his fight against an inoperable brain tumor, Lee Atwater has apologized to Michael S. Dukakis for the "naked cruelty" of a remark he made about the Democratic Presidential nominee in the 1988 campaign.

Atwater apologized for more of his political skulduggery: "While I didn't invent negative politics," he said, "I am one of its most ardent practitioners."
