...table. It is challenge enough to perfect the punishment to fit the crime but even harder to craft it in a way that satisfies all the needs for justice from those who would have to bless it: the vengeful Republicans, the bitter Democrats, the rebellious Clinton, the righteous Ken Starr. And that wasn't very likely. The only glimmer of hope from the Republican side was coming from moderates who were worried about a backlash against the next ugly data dump, a spectacle that was sure to get worse this week. The party-line vote to release the videotape...
Finally, to run the Clinton Regency, the White House would need to draw back into action a blue-chip crew comparable to the one enlisted by Ronald Reagan to save his presidency after Iran-contra in 1986. As Powell, Howard Baker, Frank Carlucci and Ken Duberstein did then, the presence of Democratic veterans such as Leon Panetta in a return engagement, George Mitchell, Republican Pentagon chief William Cohen, perhaps outgoing Florida Governor Lawton Chiles would reassure the nation and Congress that the President is running a grownup shop, not a frat house or a cathouse, and would have their help...
...House Judiciary Committee hasn't even begun to get down to substance, but verdicts-by-sound-bite from its members are already rolling in.

Democrat Maxine Waters has blasted Ken Starr, whose report the committee will be weighing, as "the poster boy for unethical prosecutors." Republican bomb thrower Bob Barr has attacked Clinton's "systemic abuses" of the "political process" and demanded an inquiry into his impeachment--and that was last year, before the Monica Lewinsky scandal even broke...
Your cover portraying Clinton and Yeltsin as crippled leaders outraged me. If Clinton's presidency is diminished, it's partly because the media keep asserting that that is the case. However, the bulk of the blame goes to Ken Starr, who has dogged the Clintons for years. As disgusting as the President's behavior was, even more disgusting is the obsession of the media with this story, which should have been confined to the tabloids. RUTH M. SCOTT Mill Valley, Calif...
...Ken Starr should have cut a licensing deal for his report. One of Washington's new power eateries, McCormick & Schmick's, says cigar sales at its bar are up 110% since the report appeared. A tourist paid $250 to take home 25 Macanudos as capital souvenirs. Meanwhile, sales of Oy Vey! The Things They Say, a book Lewinsky gave Clinton, have quadrupled...
