...parties are also set to do battle over the "finding of fact," a resolution concluding that the President committed any number of offenses, from misleading the grand jury to coaching witnesses. The measure would have no bearing on conviction or acquittal but would give Republicans the chance to issue a formal denunciation, now that it is all but certain Clinton will be let off. If a Senator thought the President lied but did not commit perjury, for example, he or she could vote to affirm the lie in the finding of fact without voting to convict on impeachment. Some conservative...
...years John has been locked up, she has missed seeing him a grand total of three times. "I don't know of anyone who's been doing it as long as she has," says Tyrone Simmons, who runs a shuttle service called Operation Prison Gap and rewards Mrs. Rosado's loyalty by charging her only half the $40 fee. During the course of a week, thousands of New Yorkers visit relatives in upstate and western New York prisons. On Friday and Saturday nights, dozens of buses and vans stack up at Columbus Circle.

Some of these pooch facilities can get pretty doggone grand.

Could his departure mean that he saw diminished prospects that PRESIDENT CLINTON would ever be indicted? Starr's office declined to comment...
Hutchinson and Rogan marched the Senate briskly through the two articles of impeachment: the President, they claimed, had obstructed justice in the Jones case, caused other witnesses to provide false testimony to Kenneth Starr's grand jury and then knowingly lied under oath in order to maintain the deception. Hutchinson fashioned a compelling narrative from this too familiar tale. The obstruction, he alleged, began when Clinton learned that Lewinsky was to be subpoenaed in the Jones case; he drafted Vernon Jordan to help find her a job and get her back on Clinton's side; once that was under...
