...this same July 4, 1776, issue. Both honors came as Senior Editor Otto Friedrich, who edited our first Bicentennial special, was plunging into the closing stage of preparation for the mid-May publication of our second special, "The New Nation," dated Sept. 26, 1789. This sequel, like its prizewinning predecessor, was written as if TIME reporters were on the scene that week two centuries ago. It was a turbulent, fascinating, great week.

...boos. In the end, Callaway may be judged guilty only of a series of indiscretions that might have stirred relatively little notice in bygone eras. But a President who came to office after scandals forced his predecessor to resign-and who has so far come through to voters as a man of honesty and decency-cannot afford to wait for the final verdict on Bo's boo-boos...
