...release the President's grand jury testimony. The 71-year-old Hyde put the affair down to "youthful indiscretion" -- even though he was in his forties at the time, not much younger than Clinton is now. Other GOP luminaries cried conspiracy: "The President's attack dogs," said Majority Whip Tom DeLay, "don't know the difference between breaking the law and making a mistake decades ago."

"A secret like this will be hard to keep, but this time he's going to try his best," she says. "He wants to wait until after Clinton testifies, and surprise...
...busy crossroads directly beneath the vast Capitol Rotunda. Tourists began screaming, "He's got a gun!" and dropped to the floor, grabbing children, rolling behind columns, trying to get smaller. Weston came to a door marked PRIVATE: DO NOT ENTER. It was the back door to House majority whip Tom DeLay's suite, the door staff members use to slip in and out of the warren of offices...
