Which leaves at least some of the 55 G.O.P. Senators wondering what they gain by pressing on much longer. But having lost the popular center long ago, they can at least keep their conservative base happy by insisting on a full trial. And so at week's end they linked arms with both the House managers and Ken Starr in the effort to debrief Monica Lewinsky even before the question of calling witnesses was resolved. Bipartisanship was shredding as the two sides bickered over all the procedural issues they had sidestepped when the trial began...
...appearing graceful in the victory they now expect. The White House was careful not to start the victory dance; advisers were put on "gloat patrol" to avoid annoying wavering Republicans.

He could explain that peculiar on-again, off-again relationship between Trent Lott and Orrin Hatch. He could explain Trent Lott...
...direct rival. The company has become increasingly concerned about the breakneck speed at which those companies are forming alliances. America Online is buying Netscape, At Home is buying Excite, Lucent is acquiring Ascend Communications--all deals worked out since the start of the antitrust trial. "This is a yeasty industry," says Microsoft general counsel William Neukom. "It's important to realize how fast things move."
