...most anticipated - or, depending on one's view, feared - aspect of the trial so far was the showing of the prosecution's most important piece of evidence: the videotape. Kelly's defense attorneys filed at least one motion as late as Tuesday morning to prevent the tape from being shown. That motion, however, was unsuccessful. Then, the judge issued an odd warning via his pro bono spokesman: sketch artists might open themselves to child pornography charges - and a revocation of their press credentials - for drawing depictions of the tape.

So far, Kelly's attorneys have presented a powerful argument by questioning the veracity of the tape - which was dubbed widely and sold in DVD form on street corners in major cities across the country.

Every citizen should have an option of filing income taxes on a simple form. Sen. Fred Thompson’s ill-fated presidential bid mentioned specifically this necessary change in its policy platform (yes, he had a platform). Following Thompson’s lead, the Giuliani campaign took up this cause. It would be regrettable if these candidates’ mutual call for thorough tax reform fell into oblivion with their...
