I have a question rather than a comment. Why did the Republicans insist on going into executive session at the end, to discuss (and vote on) issuing subpoenas to three witnesses connected to nothing but the Willey incident (which Starr himself had said did not involve anything impeachable)? That really made them look bad. It made them look as if they really had something to conceal, and Hyde's failure to give the Democrats any reason, publicly, for calling those particular witnesses made him look both bossy and incompetent..(I can see the puns now: "The Republicans are playing Hyde & Seek"...etc.) Strange, because up to that point I would say the Republicans had the day, largely because Starr came across well (if a little too boy-scouty). But Schippers did not, IMO: his "questioning" of Starr struck me as being more like a 45-minute soap-box oration+eulogy. jbe
