...polls to bolster their courage. One showed that not only Democrats but independents too would be less inclined to vote for someone who approved an impeachment inquiry. But the White House almost overdid it. Despite its insistence that the President wasn't muscling fence-sitting Democrats, some members were furious at even the appearance of pressure.

...felt they might be worth it if God cured her. One morning, "at about 2:45," her coughing was loud enough to wake him. His father told him "it was nothing"--that he would just take Michael's mother to the hospital. When she never came out, Michael was furious--at God: "a bastard.
