...South Carolina firebrand Bob Inglis accused his guest Schlesinger ?- perhaps the most respected historian in America ?- of having "a great deal of sophistication but very little common sense." Cold comfort for committee chair Henry Hyde, then, that Monday?s Supreme Court ruling would allow him to call Clinton confidant Bruce Lindsey. Hyde said he despaired for "the rule of law".

The Siege has its thrills and suspenses, and its big name cast shouldn't fail to lure the crowds, but don't expect much more than...
