...more important, for at least some committee members, is discovering whether this is the final dump. Does Starr plan to send over any more material -- on Whitewater, Filegate or Travelgate, for instance? Such a seemingly simple question is what the bipartisan band of four want chairman Henry Hyde to ask the independent counsel. But given Starr's penchant for meticulously collecting mountains of data, the committee should be careful what it wishes...
Salon magazine editor David Talbot knew that if his scrappy little webzine ran a story about Henry Hyde's sex life it would make a big splash inside the Beltway. But no sooner had Salon started playing in the media big leagues than Talbot began acting like a Steinbrenner, firing his Washington bureau chief for grousing publicly about his news judgment.

Conyers had wandered off before returning to the microphones to offer something about Watergate. Still, no one doubts that Conyers will say his piece once impeachment hearings begin. That prospect hardly cheers the President's supporters. But given the determined way Republicans are running the committee, even the most dynamic Democrat wouldn't be able to stop the impeachment onslaught. Of course, that's not exactly cheering news for Clinton...
