...carry out Saturday's assassination attempt against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Indeed, the man who led Pakistan through its nuclear testing last year even may have brought Saturday's assassination attempt upon himself. "His clampdowns on opposition have created a very dangerous situation where the only outlet for dissent is in the form of acts of violence such as the one we've just seen," says TIME New Delhi bureau chief Tim McGirk.

For Judiciary Committee chairman Henry Hyde, who wants to bring things to the fastest possible conclusion, that represents an opportunity to act with a minimum of interference from diehards who still want Clinton's head. There was no dissent even from the right wing last week when Hyde announced a streamlined hearings schedule with just one major witness: independent counsel Kenneth Starr, on Nov. 19.
