Wilson tried to quell alumnae concerns about the college's future in June, noting in an Alumnae Day speech that the college is strong and that "our eyes are squarely on the prize of women and men in effective partnership...
...devastating 25-minute denunciation of Clinton that he delivered last week on the Senate floor, Democratic Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut stopped short of calling for censure, limiting himself to a more ambiguous call for a "public rebuke." All the same, a stunned White House is worried that his speech, in which Lieberman roasted Clinton's behavior as "immoral" and "disgraceful," will break the spell that has held most Democrats back from putting real distance between themselves and the President.

"I love this man," enthused Rabbi Edward Cohn of Los Angeles. And as if to complete his portrayal of a perfectly penitent sinner, Clinton promised to seek "pastoral support and help from others." What could be missing from the apology this time round? Only the timing. With House members voting to release the Starr report just hours after the prayer breakfast, it wasn't too little, but it may have...
