...second faction is the publishers and publicists, who want to sell the book. They seem more likely to stretch the limits of the immunity deal in exchange for the requisite publicity avalanche. And finally, there's the Lewinsky family, which wants payback--financial, yes, but perhaps moral as well. If Monica's Story seems too squishy for its first two-thirds, the book inspires genuine indignation when it delves into Starr's treatment of Monica and her mother. After the FBI and Starr's men corralled Monica in a hotel room--thanks to a Tripp sting operation--they made...
King and Brewer joined a local prison chapter of a gang called the Confederate Knights of America, a small North Carolina-based Klan faction that recruited heavily from biker groups and prison inmates in the early 1990s.

According to Dickson, only the panic that Protestant England would revert to Inquisitorial control propelled the earl's heirs...

And unlike the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, now dismissed by history as a partisan act, Clinton's trial would end in his near universal condemnation, a judgment made by all of us, not one faction of us, that will stand the test of time...
