But then how is anyone supposed to research it?  If somebody requests 
information on "the claim about marital infidelity with person X", I can 
search Lexis-Nexis to see if any such claim has been made in the media, 
and source it if so.  I can't search on Lexis-Nexis for claims that 
aren't specified.
