Every politician knows what would happen if he were in Clinton's shoes. "Imagine if I were caught in my office with an intern," a moderate Senator told a group of mayors. "I'd be run out of town. Gone." Like all caucuses, the G.O.P.'s is driven by its most passionate members. While some are troubled by Ken Starr's veering off into a consensual affair, they hardly balance those who are enraged by Clinton. But perhaps the greatest fear in the G.O.P. is the O.J. factor--that if acquitted, Clinton will throw a party and announce a search...
...wage nothing less than a struggle for their party's soul. All of which might have given the two plenty to talk about at dinner, except they didn't talk about any of it. Gore never brought up the Harvard speech, and no one mentioned the White House intern. The evening, Gephardt later remarked privately, "could not have been more surreal...
...Howard University, Combs was a business major but schooled himself in party throwing. In 1989 he dropped out and returned to New York. He joined Andre Harrell's Uptown Records, where he rose rapidly from intern to vice president, launching Bad Boy there in 1991. Combs' greatest debacle still dogs him: a disastrous stampede that year in which nine people died at an oversold party he promoted with the rapper Heavy D. Last month a judge found that both men and New York's City College, the host of the event, shared responsibility for the deaths, although the finding carries...
WASHINGTON: The battle lines of impeachment have been redrawn, and Monica Lewinsky is free at last. At 3:30 p.m. (ET), the Senate voted 70-30 against subpoenaing the ex-intern for live testimony on the Senate floor. The result was predictable but instructive: Moderate Republicans are through toeing the party line. The impeachment hawks are now on the record. And the Senate looks to be 37 votes short of a presidential eviction. "The GOP moderates had had enough of witnesses," says TIME congressional correspondent John Dickerson. And possibly enough of conviction as well...
...each man's indomitable drive may have taken him too far. Clinton's passion for connecting with other people drew him into an affair with a White House intern. Gates' need to plant himself at the top of the computer world may have led him to create a monopoly and use it to illegally beat down the competition. What has hurt both Bills most, though, isn't what they did but their similarly flawed responses to the charges against them. Clinton's seemingly false statement in a sworn deposition that he did not have sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky seemed...
