...meantime, the Vatican and the U.S. hierarchy, while upholding traditional doctrine, have taken steps to relax the stringent rules on annulment, thereby creating easier ways out of broken marriages.

It has a half-life of only nine-tenths of a second-that is, half of its atoms will break apart into simpler atoms in that brief span of time.

Obviously, they will not be made any more. We need a system that would operate when only one or two or three charges have been made against the President. The sheer range of misbehavior, the totality of it, simply overwhelmed everybody this time. What if there had been only one clear-cut impeachable offense? Perhaps what we need is a permanent independent prosecutor, related in some way to or appointed by Congress...
