Then there's the frustration factor. When Clinton goes about his business as if impeachment were happening to someone else he inflames otherwise sensible Republicans. After CNN went live to St. Louis, Mo., for a picture of the World's Most Famous Celibate arm in arm with the World's Most Famous Adulterer--not even giving Clinton's trial the dignity of a split screen--one Senator wailed that he couldn't believe his eyes. "How could the Holy Father be seen with such a man?" It's been a heavy enough cross to bear that the American people have...
After the majority bulldozed the minority on Thursday, the chamber broke into an unexpected round of arm nuzzling and shoulder butting across the partisan divide, even as it seemed to widen. Could they have been faking how far apart they really were to please their respective constituencies? Afterward, Lott didn't gloat. Daschle didn't go nuclear. Tom Harkin didn't pout.

They appear to get the message. "That sell you have, that's a good sell," says Grainger captain Billy Burkett, as his boat eases past the mouth of the Kanawha River. He wears a Hawaiian shirt and a faded tattoo of a bird on his arm. "You try and convert people, they'll just back away. But this little place here is our city and our town, and every city needs a parson, and you're ours...
