...would not sell his mother to have these birds back in the Oval Office for only a day, scheming, brooding, drawing up enemies lists, conniving about "Plumbers"? The most entertaining of the tape excerpts, to me, has Nixon raging about the threat of impeachment to his press secretary Ron Ziegler, when his dog, King Timahoe, suddenly jumps up on him: "Christ, impeach the President on John Dean's word... there's a cancer in the heart of the White House, on the heart of the presidency. [The dog barks.] King! Goddam, get off me! But they can't want, frankly...
Israel's legal system presumes innocence, but in politics there's no such protection. If Netanyahu had become the first Prime Minister ever to be indicted, he would probably have been driven from office, even though the law does not require that he resign.

They will introduce into evidence notes taken by domestic-violence expert Lenore Walker, who was brought in by the original defense team and who wrote that Simpson told her he called former girlfriend Paula Barbieri from his Bronco the night of the murders--not from home, as he insisted last week. Barbieri is expected also...
...Republicans instantly viewed Baer, who was appointed by Bill Clinton two years ago, as a good candidate for infamy. In the skilled hands of the G.O.P.'s attack dogs, Baer would become this year's Willie Horton, the killer whose parole came back to haunt Michael Dukakis in 1988. "Impeach him!" screamed Bob Dole, whose refusal to take even a tiny step toward initiating that severe sanction confirmed that his call was nothing more than a political stunt. But it was a potentially devastating one, as the White House knew. Clinton dispatched press secretary Michael McCurry to suggest that Judge...
