...adds, "exactly how we get to that point, I'm not sure." And Mike DeWine, a Republican Senator from Ohio who is opposed to censure on constitutional grounds, suspects that anything can happen once the Senate begins trying to uncover the facts. "It has a much different impact, hearing the witnesses," explains DeWine, a former prosecutor. "When you get into a trial all bets are off. You just don't know which way it will...
...debate by portraying it as a partisan battle and disgusting prosecutorial invasion of personal privacy. So why didn't we choose her? Sentimentally, a lot of us wanted to; I personally was fascinated and impressed by her. But it came down to who, in the end, had the most impact on the way the news actually unfolded. For better or worse, she ended up having less influence than her adversaries on the year's headlines and history...
...appears to be tied up for two more years. The best I could deduce about his revenue impact is that it's on the order of $100 million a year.

Not Stern himself, whose sidekicks block any call not having to do with body...
...glorified people who have become grotesquely wealthy and downplayed their negative impact on society. In many cases the detrimental effects have far outweighed any benefits incurred. Sam Walton created a company that has destroyed thousands of small businesses. Ray Kroc and McDonald's have given us unhealthy, tasteless food and a lot of low-paying jobs. Worst of all was your choice of builder William Levitt and Levittown's clone houses. Similar suburban developments have resulted in the paving over of thousands of acres of farmland and forest. These people were not visionaries; they were opportunists who diminished the American...
