...hype surrounding this presidential fiasco could constitute "shame" enough--for most people. But Clinton needs constant reminders--and one final Congressional slap across the face--to understand the magnitude of his failings. We as a nation, through Congress, need to rebuke the president officially for his wrongdoing. With censure, we will be telling the President, for the record, that we are repulsed by his acts.

Boys reach out to slap his palm. Stephen, 17, is irresistible. Kids are impressed that he's snagged one of the world's coolest after-school jobs: ball boy for the Boston Celtics. Teachers adore his diligence and willingness to stretch beyond what is required. And everyone is amazed that despite his achievements as a student (3.4 average), an athlete (baseball, track and golf), a musician (honors...
