Other Republicans were less circumspect. Having publicly promised Clinton that a confession would probably save him from impeachment hearings, Utah Senator Orrin Hatch responded to the speech with outrage at the President's attack on the independent counsel. G.O.P. Congressman Bob Barr, a committed Clinton opponent who sits on the House Judiciary Committee, mocked the President's act of contrition. "It was all a charade," Barr insisted. "The lip biting and the hangdog look were all part of an act." A better barometer was Illinois' Henry Hyde, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, where impeachments originate.

When word got out the following morning, the reaction was largely positive, particularly in Congress. Glenn will not be the first lawmaker to fly in space.

Chances that Microsoft would appeal such a verdict: Even higher...

Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) "then the next question is, will the President submit to giving samples so they can match the DNAs if they are matchable?" Test results notwithstanding, Hatch led the chorus of calls for Clinton to make a televised mea culpa on the Lewinsky affair and even offered to "be there to try to help him if he will." Even assuming he has something to repent, however...
