...many experts still thought that the Democrats faced nearly insurmountable odds. Reported TIME Correspondent Neil MacNeil: "In these assessments, Congress comes off as a sorry, almost pitiful rival to the President. The brave initiatives of last January have become the cruel frustrations of now. The Democrats have lost their momentum, their sense of purpose and esprit. They are floundering in a political morass. They see themselves as disarrayed and helpless. But if with 289 members of the House they cannot act, they might as well call in the dogs. The hunting will be over...
...taut confrontation of mother and son on a city street. The kid's whining defiance and his mother's tired implorings cry out from the surface of the page.

None of the leaders knew what was what-neither the formal leaders of the House nor the leaders of the various factions involved in the debate...
...unique, if not altogether enviable position. The more prudent course might have been for him to remain silent for the moment, saying only that he would make his decision when necessary, on what he judged to be the merits of the case. But, as he told TIME Correspondent Neil MacNeil in an interview last week, because of his "unique position," he is more mindful than most Republicans of the fact that the impeachment crisis must not be allowed to tear the party to pieces...
