...Notebook) that men hardly ever apologize because doing so "entails admitting fault," and that "shows weakness"--and the next thing you know, some stronger type is clubbing you over the head and taking over your cave. That may be why Clinton, in Moscow last Wednesday, felt he had to defend his refusal to apologize for his refusal to apologize. He said he reread his speech and thought it was just fine. That was one nonapology too many for friends like Senator Joseph Lieberman, who led an outpouring of criticism that had, until then, remained under wraps. In Russia, Clinton also...

It won immediate support from Democrats, who are making administration-friendly noises for the first time in a week -- if only because they believe Clinton should have a chance to defend himself. Review and commentary is "an appropriate and professional courtesy," according to Rep. Jim Moran, a Virginia Democrat who says he fully expects the Lewinsky matter to lead to impeachment proceedings. Independent counsel history is on Kendall's side, too -- Iran-Contra prosecutors offered the White House right-of-reply. And the best...
