...stood trial in the Senate, and Andrew Johnson's ordeal took place a full century ago (see TIME ESSAY page 30). Yet unless Nixon resigns, and he insists that he will not, the 93rd Congress will surely find its place in history as the "impeachment Congress." The rubric will stand whatever the outcome, even should the House ultimately vote that there are insufficient grounds to support impeachment and let the matter end there.

With no firm deadline but with pressure from Republicans and some Democrats to make haste, Doar expects to issue an interim report by late February. The report must first of all define what are impeachable offenses within the Constitution's "high crimes and misdemeanors" rubric; then it must determine whether the President might be guilty of any of the offenses.

History is unclear how often this "commandment" was carried out, but Joshua seems to have applied it with vigor against Canaan...
Part of my affection for Macdonald derives from shared interests: We are both fascinated by little children, beautiful women, unsolved murders, rich neurotics, and that strange socio-geographic area which goes under the generic rubric of Southern California. How could I help but love Sleeping Beauty, when Macdonald has sprinkled it so generously with all these ingredients...
