...TIME legal reporter Alain Sanders doesn't think Clinton's flirtation with perjury for a frivolous lawsuit merits a full disbarment, and he wishes the Arkansas legal machinery could have left Americans with an undistracted President for the little time he's got left. "The conservatives are pushing this," he says. "But for what Clinton did, he deserves this process to go forward, and he does deserve to be reprimanded at least. It could wait, however, until he leaves office." Of course the right-wing Southeastern Legal Foundation knew exactly what it would get by initiating disbarment. The lawyer...
Doctors have successfully treated many young SCID patients before with various types of bone-marrow transplants. What distinguishes these two babies, researchers reported in Science last week, is that they are the first to be treated, apparently successfully, entirely by gene therapy.

On the other hand, a society that doesn't keep an eye on former criminals - particularly those who've committed something so heinous - is acting irresponsibly...
...federal civil rights investigation into the shooting. Justice Department officials continue to "consider" the family's repeated requests for a central review, though they warn that prosecuting the officers under federal civil rights law could prove extremely difficult. "Criminal cases and civil cases can coexist," explains TIME legal reporter Alain Sanders. "The family obviously feels there's been a miscarriage of justice, so they're attacking from two fronts at once." It's hard to imagine what the Diallos must think of this distinctly American path to justice: Their son's killers were acquitted, a federal case remains...
