...title that draws you in--"Greed, Sex, Lies and the Pursuit of a Swivel Chair." It's the title that promises an unprecedented expose of the secret lives of lawyers, a positively hair-raising account of what really goes on in those board rooms and oak-paneled office buildings. It's the title that feeds on this decade's ambivalent fascination with lawyers to attract an audience...

If so, says TIME Pentagon correspondent Mark Thompson, a crucial distinction will account for the difference: "The general is subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the Commander in Chief is not." In our constitutional system, says Thompson, "we have a different way to deal with the President, as we probably should." TIME Washington columnist Margaret Carlson agrees. "There is only one President but thousands of soldiers," she says. One is not as easily dispensable as the other. "Moreover...
