...game. Wearing pearls and a dark pantsuit, sipping Evian over ice through a straw, Lewinsky not only didn't help her interrogator, the hapless Ed Bryant of Tennessee, but also left him with less of a case against the President than he had when the deposition began. She stood by her insistence that no one asked her to lie or offered her a job in exchange for her false affidavit, and refused to agree that the President was lying when his testimony contradicted hers, conceding only that her memory or interpretation differed from his.

Outside the medical complex, his family was mobbed by the Jordanian people, wishing them health and comforting them. Thousands stood outside in the rain over the weekend, praying for the king and holding giant paintings of their leader, who spent 47 years on the throne. Maybe these outpourings of grief come as no surprise, but the echo here in Israel--the way people have gathered around radios to hear the developments, the statements of sympathy the politicians have made--reflects an uncommon respect among the Israeli people for this former enemy who had become a dear friend. King Hussein demonstrated...
