Elections are scheduled to take place May 17, with a runoff on June 1 if no candidate receives more than half the vote. Netanyahu expects his opponents to attack his credibility and trustworthiness, which aides acknowledge are his weak spots.

The truth is that no one can predict exactly what breakthroughs might result from the deciphering of the human genome. As Venter puts it: "It's like it was before electricity.

The allegations in the articles of impeachment are laughably weak. 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...
