Some White House sources blame the scandal on the culture of scientific sharing. "Scientists think differently than people in the national-security business," and the labs were "enormously porous," says an Administration official...
George Stephanopoulos, promoting his new book, was doing his bit for the cause last week, but to most sensible news viewers the Monica Lewinsky scandal is over. Which means that the TV pundits are having to get reacquainted with issues like school vouchers, and the all-news channels are discovering once again that--except for the times when we're unraveling a President's sex life, watching a former NFL star beat a murder rap or bombing Iraq--not all that many people want to watch news...

Less predictably, the battlefield looks different since the smoke has cleared.

Hickman Ewing, coming at the outset of Whitewater figure Susan McDougal?s trial for contempt, sent chills through the First Lady and those advising her as she considers a run for a New York Senate seat, sources say. As a sign of things to come, says one, ?this most recent news gives you pause...
