...Committee was foreclosed on Dec. 29, 1997, not by any process of the Committee but by letter from Anne Taylor, General Counsel of Harvard University. She informed Peter's lawyer, Matt Feinberg, that she had thoroughly investigated Peter's case and found no evidence of abuse of process to warrant consideration by the Joint Committee. Additionally, she told Feinberg that she did this investigation personally and made the decision that our complaint would not be considered by the Committee. In fact, so far as Peter and Matt Feinberg and I can tell based on our own inquires and investigation, Anne...

The House impeached the president for perjury without specifying how he perjured himself; it accused him of obstruction of justice based on a selective reading of conflicting testimony garnered by the independent counsel...
General Augusto Pinochet Ugarte, former dictator of Chile, is arrested in a London clinic on a human-rights warrant. For Americans, a conundrum. Instinctively we think this must be right. If in America you were responsible directly or indirectly for 3,000 deaths, you'd be on death row. But Americans are not arbitrary. All kinds of thugs, both former and current rulers, are running around free. So why Pinochet...
