Work is under way on the only Hyde portrait that really matters. When the Judiciary Committee meets this week to launch the third inquiry into the impeachment of a President in the nation's history, partisan members will bicker and spit--but Hyde's performance will go a long way toward either reassuring people that the process is orderly and rational or convincing them that it is a witch hunt. "If I were to fail," he told TIME last week, "it would negate everything I have done before." And even those who know him best wonder which Henry Hyde...
...Madness on the Couch, Edward Dolnick, a veteran science writer for Health magazine and The Boston Globe, explores how Rosen-type therapists saturated the psychoanalytic profession with bad science, unearned hubris and treatment that was patently dangerous to patients and families.

Thankfully, the administration has moved closer to the launch of air-strikes against Serb positions. In 1995, similar strikes helped bring about the lull in hostilities that allowed the negotiation of the Dayton Peace Accords. We hope that Milosevic yields to diplomatic pressure, but if military force is necessary to halt the bloodshed...
