The __ of two evils (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lesser

(Other definitions for lesser that I've seen before include "Not so important (one)" , "Smaller; inferior" , "That which is smaller, as of two evils" , "Not as great" , "Smaller in size or amount or value" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal and the Newsday.
