...thing to engage in a private affair between consenting adults. It is another to have a 22-year-old intern performing oral sex on the President while he talks by phone to a Congressman about the fate of Americans stationed in Bosnia. It is one thing to turn the Lincoln Bedroom into a campaign ATM machine, another to turn the Oval Office into a hot-sheet motel. It is one thing for the President to invoke the cleansing powers of repentance. It is another to suggest that he deserves to serve out his term so that he can help teach...
Starr, in turn, has had his response to this charge ready and waiting for weeks: the President's evasive testimony made the detail essential to proving the case for perjury. Though the President promised at his Friday-morning prayer breakfast not to hide behind legalisms, that is precisely what his lawyers put forward at a news conference that very afternoon, when they tried to argue--once again--that lying did not necessarily constitute perjury.

One officer recalled that Captain Purdie told him and other officers, "Whatever just happened didn't happen...
...Duma confirmed him overwhelmingly, 315 votes to 63, last Friday. His appointment solves the political stalemate at the top, at least for now, but it does nothing to cure the nation's economic crisis. Primakov has not yet put forward a program, but his signals indicate a partial turn away from market reforms and toward more state intervention in the economy. That is not what the U.S. and the bankers of the West were hoping...
