...language also had that Clinton smell. Seven months of lies and the famous finger wag somehow amounted only to an admission that he "gave a false impression." As for defending answers as "legally accurate," most people think something is accurate or it is not. The idea of establishing some new zone of semitruth immediately brings to mind another phrase, the one that still haunts Al Gore: "no controlling legal authority." That too was one supplied by lawyers. This may have been a necessary way of avoiding admitting perjury, but the whole speech said the opposite: I was lying then...

...striking riders as "unsportsmanlike" is insulting and unfair. Given that the majority of the riders, who were not involved in steroid use, were striking against the manhandling of themselves and their possessions by police goons who interrogated first and thought later, their actions were quite reasonable. And your reportage somehow neglected to mention that these "unsportsmanlike" riders nonetheless finished the course for the benefit of the many spectators who had turned out to see them. You owe the entire Tour de France an apology. MIKE W. BARR Canoga Park, Calif...

...shared environments can also exist inside the home. Maybe, for example, parents treat siblings differently--doting on Jimmy and screaming at Johnny, say--and that is why Johnny went bad. If Harris is to demolish the nurture assumption, she must somehow dismiss such dynamics...

When Bill Clinton gave his deposition in the Paula Jones case, he said he had never had "sexual relations" with Monica Lewinsky. But Lewinsky has reportedly testified to a number of acts that most people think of as sex. Can both statements somehow be true? Is it possible that the two of them had intimate contact, yet Clinton still did not perjure himself? In the intricate world of the law, a world of hairsplitting distinctions where the President is famously at home, it just may be so. Here...
