WASHINGTON: Call it the Arlen Specter solution. As the impeachment process begins to collapse for want of GOP support, the Republican senator (and former prosecutor) from Pennsylvania is trying to convince his colleagues that presidential punishment, like revenge, is a dish best served cold.

With a month still left on the 90-day clock Reno started on September 8, Shannon says even the attorney general doesn't know yet. "She has a history of going down to the wire." But with Republican appetites for scandal considerably curbed of late, Clinton knows that this time around, with these investigators, ignorance of the law could well be all the excuse he needs...
