...there is some solid evidence that he meant it. Most of the charges leveled against Starr--that he colluded with Linda Tripp and the lawyers for Paula Jones to entrap Clinton, that his men mistreated Lewinsky in their long Jan. 16 session with her--turn out to have little basis in fact, according to an investigation by TIME.

The machine is solid--no tinny clicks and clatters when it does its microprocessing--and it never fails, no matter how much junk...
...find this argument solid on intellectual grounds, but it can easily violate another cardinal American virtue: the defense of minority rights. It's obvious that religious people have a right to vote their beliefs, but the imposition of religious symbols on public discourse leave minorities feeling oppressed and fearing for their religious freedoms...
