...where the President was safely engaged in negotiations over international finance, the Lewinsky affair intruded in a surprising way. It came via an Osaka housewife, and it had nothing to do with impeachment. "How did you apologize to Mrs. Clinton and Chelsea?" she asked him at a town-hall forum. "Did they really forgive you, Mr. President?" Replied Clinton: "Well, I did it in a direct and straightforward manner, and I believe they did, yes.

The House Judiciary Committee includes some of the most ideological members of each party, politicians more likely to go for the jugular than the essence of a witness's arguments. Starr will have to defend the logic and fairness of his actions...
