Order News Events

Below is a news report with certain words colored. Your task is to decide if the events that the colored words describe happened before or after each other. The article is describing real world events, so you must decide how the events happened in the real world. Many events overlap in time or are ambiguous. In those cases, mark "unknown" as your answer.

For example, in the following two sentences, "pushed" happened before "fell", even though "fell" might occur before "pushed" in the actual text ordering:

John fell. Sam pushed him.


In the following article, which event happens first: made or designed ?

Article

WASHINGTON _ Following are statements made Friday and Thursday by Lawrence Wechsler, a lawyer for the White House secretary, Betty Currie; the White House; White House spokesman Mike McCurry, and President Clinton in response to an article in The New York Times on Friday about her statements regarding a meeting with the president: Wechsler on Thursday ``Without commenting on the allegations raised in this article, to the extent that there is any implication or suggestion that Mrs. Currie was aware of any legal or ethical impropriety by anyone, that implication or suggestion is entirely inaccurate.''

White House on Thursday ``For the past few weeks we've been subjected to false leaks designed to mislead both reporters and the American public.

We're not going to dignify the latest false leak with a response.''

McCurry on Friday ``I want to be absolutely clear, to the extent there is any implication or the slightest suggestion that Mrs. Currie believes that the President or anyone else tried to influence her recollection, that is absolutely false and a mischaracterization of the facts.

I am shocked and dismayed by the numerous leaks regarding Mrs. Currie's grand jury testimony.''

Clinton on Friday.

``Once again, I never asked anybody to do anything but tell the truth.

I know about the stories today.

I was pleased that Ms. Currie's lawyers stated unambiguously this morning _ unambiguously _ that she's not aware of any unethical conduct.
