...that would force the President to accept some severe punishment short of impeachment, in return for some protection against prosecution once he leaves office. Selling that deal would have to involve the help of the permanent graybeards on both sides--men like Bob Dole, who has put in a call to Clinton already, Bob Strauss, Colin Powell, George Mitchell--men who have the moral horsepower to haul their crankier colleagues along...
Hyde and Speaker Gingrich have it within their power to call a truce, but that's not in their interest. The problem here is that everything is already going their way: Republicans now talk of winning 15 to 20 new seats in November, a prospect that has the faithful and the financiers wanting to barbecue Clinton for at least a few more weeks. The party's social-conservative flank, meanwhile, is opposed to mercy on ideological grounds, determined that the President must be spanked and spanked hard. But if the G.O.P. drags Clinton's carcass around the arena too many...
...occasions to fight over almost everything, notably about how much the committee will rely on the Starr report for its decisions. Chairman Henry Hyde has said there is no need to "reinvent the wheel." But Frank has characterized the report as "the most negative case possible." Will the committee call its own witnesses?

Enbrel, a genetically engineered medication from Seattle-based Immunex, works by sopping up a tumor-killing cytokine called tumor necrosis factor before it can issue its call for reinforcements. The COX-2 inhibitors target prostaglandin production, limiting pain and inflammation. And the blood-filtration device, invented at Cypress Bioscience of San Diego, strips the blood of proteins that tell white cells (erroneously) what tissues to attack--a treatment...
...team.'" Unlike McGwire's Cardinals, Sosa and the Cubs are vying for a play-off spot, and every home run could mean that the Cubs get a chance to win their first World Series since 1908 and make up for what the fans like to call "a bad century." And while Sosa's 62nd homer didn't technically break Maris' 37-year-old record but rather tied McGwire's five-day-old mark, it still seemed undercelebrated: no commissioner at the game, no Marises in the stands, no infrared marked balls, no vintage Corvette. In a letter to commissioner...
