...vote marked the end of a sad saga that has mesmerized Washington and disgusted the nation for more than a year. A story of two villains--Bill Clinton and Ken Starr--and no heroes, this all-encompassing scandal has claimed many victims: Newt Gingrich, Bob Livingston, the Republican Party's approval ratings and Bill Clinton's place in the history books.

GAIL SHEEHY's 21-page report examines the psychological underpinnings of the First Couple's frequently anguished relationship. Among the highlights is a rare interview with Dorothy Rodham, Hillary's mom, who sheds light on the First Lady's seemingly superhuman stoicism: "She is a very sensitive person.
