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 it is that Americans will meet...

Now there's little hope the two can settle questions of Jerusalem's status and a future Palestinian state by Oslo's May 4 deadline...

All across the country, teaching hospitals are trying to figure out how to marry progress with profits, how to come up with the money that will let them continue to lead the world in death-defying discoveries, without going bankrupt in the process...
