...lawyering, the White House figured to serve Dale Bumpers as dessert. But the ex-Arkansas senator and current Clinton buddy did even better than that. For the first time in this plodding impeachment trial, listeners were treated to a speech that was worthy of history -- not to mention a heck of a defense for the President. "He was kind of the antidote to the legal arguments," says TIME White House correspondent Jay Branegan.

The fury of Black Tuesday, Oct. 29, 1929, was grossly underestimated by the press, TIME conspicuously included. Business journalists commonly wrote that the worst was over. Not even close. The Depression bit so deeply that the Journal almost died...
