Depending on how the midterm elections go, several things could happen after Nov. 3, and almost all of them are bad. The Judiciary Committee could proceed with hearings, put Monica under lights, and go through the sordid evidence all over again. Hyde seemed to be edging away from the Broadway show version of this last week. But the Democrats may force his hand in the hope of making the G.O.P. spectacle even more revolting, and sooner or later he is going to have to decide whether there are grounds for impeachment. Then House Speaker Gingrich will have to decide whether...
Even without any money on the table, Republican members Helen Chenoweth, Dan Burton and Henry Hyde have already been singed. So far, Flynt says he has got more than 2,000 calls: a few were cranks, 85% were laudatory, some were offers to sweeten the pot, and about 300 were calls from women (and a few men) with sorry tales to tell. Flynt says three editors spent last week winnowing those down to about "12 officials with pasts that look very promising and with concrete evidence to back them up."

As a sign on a Southern back road says, CHOOSE YOUR RUT CAREFULLY. YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN IT A LONG TIME. We've chosen the politics of scandal, and we may be here forever.

...inevitable. Having lost last week's battle over the launch of the impeachment process, many Democrats relish the chance to embarrass the G.O.P. by forcing the committee to interrogate Lewinsky and a host of other marquee players in televised hearings. "Nobody wants to do that," said Henry Hyde, the Republican chairman of the committee, when asked about having Lewinsky testify. "Even the Democrats will think twice about calling witnesses that they at first might want to call." But while Hyde and his colleagues have the power to prevent Democrats from calling any particular witness, they will be hard pressed...
