WASHINGTON: The battle lines of impeachment have been redrawn, and Monica Lewinsky is free at last. At 3:30 p.m. (ET), the Senate voted 70-30 against subpoenaing the ex-intern for live testimony on the Senate floor. The result was predictable but instructive: Moderate Republicans are through toeing the party line. The impeachment hawks are now on the record. And the Senate looks to be 37 votes short of a presidential eviction. "The GOP moderates had had enough of witnesses," says TIME congressional correspondent John Dickerson.

...produced a collection of other, more subtle challenges. In places as diverse as Kosovo and Colombo, new history is being written in the blood of deep-seated ethnic panics. "Global politics is being reconfigured along cultural lines," argues Harvard historian Samuel P. Huntington. "Political boundaries are increasingly redrawn to coincide with cultural ones: ethnic, religious and civilizational." At the same time, much of the world is being remade by a global economy that has linked political openness to economic growth. Democracy, always a moral high ground, turns out to be good for business. But the idea that we are moving...
