...should Congress be able to impeach the President? No doubt tired of parsing legalisms after months of work, they took only about five minutes to dispense with the constitutional crisis. They had already decided that treason and bribery were no-brainers--definitely grounds for impeachment--but George Mason of Virginia said he was concerned that those two crimes didn't capture "many great and dangerous offenses." So he suggested adding "maladministration" to the list of impeachable no-nos. When others complained that the term was too vague, he offered this legal delicacy: "other high crimes and misdemeanors...
Deep in Clinton's past there are other motives for him to carry on. Fighting to the death is an impulse engraved in his DNA. Before he could walk away from the presidency, he would have to walk away from the example set by his mother Virginia Kelley, and not just in the way she battled to raise him after the death of his father and her remarriage to an alcoholic who made life difficult for them.

...Virginia scientists, though, adapted a technique that has been used for more than a decade to select the sex of cows, horses and pigs. Working with U.S. Department of Agriculture scientist Lawrence Johnson, who invented the method, they stained sperm with a fluorescent dye that latches onto DNA. Measuring the glow of the sperm cells under laser light, they could gauge how much genetic material each one carried. As it happens, X chromosomes have about 2.8% more DNA than Ys. Once the sperm had been distinguished this way, an automated sorting machine separated the Xs from the Ys, and doctors...
