...change the dynamic in Congress against impeachment. Committee Republicans did expand their inquiry last week into the Kathleen Willey affair--the accusation by the former White House volunteer that the President groped her near the Oval Office. So this week and next their investigators want to depose in closed-door sessions Willey's attorney Daniel Gecker, Clinton's attorney Bob Bennett, Clinton confidant Bruce Lindsey and Democratic contributor Nathan Landow. But even as Hyde was pressing on, more rank-and-file House Republicans were declaring publicly that they would not vote for impeachment. And outside emissaries began calling around Capitol...
Your kid won't stop begging for a Furby, right? She says they squawk in kiddie gibberish and make gurgling noises and sing songs. And you've driven to every mall in the state and still can't find it. Your next-door neighbor traded his car for a dozen on a black-market website, but he's hoarding them until just before Christmas, prime time for scalping.

WASHINGTON: The fishing expedition is under way. House Judiciary Committee members have begun hearing from witnesses in the Kathleen Willey affair, a matter so nebulous that even Ken Starr did not make impeachment charges out of it. Willey's lawyer, Daniel Gecker, went in front of a closed-door session of the committee Monday and left without comment. Up next: Nathan Landow, the Democratic donor and landowner, will be probed on whether President Clinton asked him to influence Willey's testimony. When he appeared before Starr's grand jury, Landow invoked the Fifth Amendment. Whether 37 politicians can succeed...
