NPR's Cheryl Devall reports that President Clinton's controversial campaign advisor, Dick Morris, resigned today after published reports that he had carried on a year-long relationship with a prostitute, and had shared with her a copy of Hillary Clinton's convention speech before it was given. It is also alleged that Morris let the woman listen in on a presidential phone conversation. Morris has been a lightning rod for criticism because of his brash style and advice to Clinton to move to the center politically. The resignation comes at the high point of a convention that Democrats -- and the president's campaign staff -- hope will propel Clinton to victory in November.
