...Monday's hearing was the third time this legal issue has been aired before a federal bench, with the courts splitting on the decision. A federal judge in Arkansas had ruled the trial must be delayed until Clinton leaves office, but that the evidence discovery process could proceed. That ruling was overturned by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in January 1996. The betting in the Beltway is that the Court will hand down a ruling similar to the federal court's in Arkansas. This would allow discovery to proceed, a potentially embarrassing process in which Clinton would have...
...investigations before publicity jeopardized the case. They also moved cautiously, an officer working on the case told TIME, "because about 80% of the victims are white and 80% of those charged are black."

Things will only get worse after the election, as a handful of congressional races proceed into a political version of sudden-death overtime. Texas has been forced to stage its own set of December runoffs that could conceivably leave the rest of the nation wondering, for a full five weeks after the election, who will control the House...
