...During the Watergate hearings of 1973, Pat Buchanan put the Democrats back on their heels by describing their hardball political tactics. Lieut. Colonel Oliver North emerged a hero of the right during the Iran-contra investigation. And when Harold Ickes faced down Senator Al D'Amato during his Whitewater probe, you almost expected one of these two tough New Yorkers to snarl, "Hey, you want a piece of me? Let's take this outside!" These warrior witnesses convince me that there is no good strategic reason for anyone to sit and listen to his character being trashed by committee members...

Still, with at least five Republican representatives having come out publicly against impeachment over the past few days, GOP lawmakers no longer have the votes in the House -- let alone the Senate -- to impeach Clinton. In the face...
...luck. ABC plans to air a Stone "special" that will probe, among other topics, spooky theories about the 1996 crash (network honchos won't call the project a documentary, since documentaries employ what fuddy-duddies like to call "facts"). Under the working title Oliver Stone's Declassified, the show is tentatively scheduled to air in February and may become a regular series...
