...bridge or a prison? Which is the most appropriate structure to bear the name of a state legislator whose 30-year career ended in a scandal of tax evasion and ethics violations charges...
...having reaped the benefits of the compromise he struck in calling for an independent counsel, President Clinton must now bear the risks. Had the Clintons been able to leave Whitewater in the political arena, it would at least be over with this election. As it is, the second Clinton term begins with an ominous shadow hanging over it.
