...Hyde's committee, they would die in the full House. And though tension in the Persian Gulf is abating, this week's hearings might still take place under the threat of a real-world exchange of fire there, something that could make the continuing fuss over Bill and Monica seem just a bit petty and exasperating. Among the 81 questions that Hyde sent two weeks ago to the White House was whether Clinton admitted or denied that he had given Monica Lewinsky an Annie Lennox CD. It was the one that opens with the love song...

We can hear all the little details like those "double clicks" that an unsuspecting Lewinsky notes at one point, which the duplicitous Tripp is able to pass off as "my gum." And, of course, we get to hear Monica's voice for the first time. Guessing what the ex-White House intern sounds like has, it seems, become America's favorite parlor game. A recent CNN/USA Today poll shows that 53 percent of respondents suspected she possesed a "high and childish" voice. They were half right. As it turns...
