...Republicans last week looked like Michael Jackson doing the moonwalk--imitating forward movement toward impeachment while in reality backing away. Though Hyde said right after the election that Starr would be his committee's sole major witness, committee aides were suggesting he may call others, including presidential adviser Bruce Lindsey...
...class Thursday night while the two sides bitterly debated over whether to call new witnesses to the impeachment inquiry. Offering no explanation, the GOP majority railroaded four new subpoenas -? for Kathleen Willey's attorney, Daniel Gecker; Democratic donor Nathan Landow; Clinton attorney Bob Bennett and White House lawyer Bruce Lindsey.

...Carolina firebrand Bob Inglis accused his guest Schlesinger ?- perhaps the most respected historian in America ?- of having "a great deal of sophistication but very little common sense." Cold comfort for committee chair Henry Hyde, then, that Monday?s Supreme Court ruling would allow him to call Clinton confidant Bruce Lindsey. Hyde said he despaired for "the rule of law". It was a comment on Slick Willie?s slipperiness; it might equally describe how Hyde's own committee is falling apart...
