During the last impeachment we got a bounce: America's Impeachment Secret One year after the only impeachment of an elected president in American history, members of Washington's political elite and the journalists who cover them continue to keep the nation in the dark about how and why it happened. The average citizen believes that President Clinton was indicted by the House and tried in the Senate because he lied about consensual sex with Monica Lewisnky. The press has done nothing to disabuse the public of that notion. But within days of Congress's historic Dec. 19, 1998, impeachment vote, media insiders knew the truth. If the case against Clinton had been about only lies and obstruction over a tawdry fling with a chubby White House intern, the President would have never been put on trial. Without secret evidence then stored in Washington's Gerald Ford Building, material that had been viewed by up to forty undecided moderate House members in the days leading up to the final vote, the Lewinsky charges alone would have not carried the day. In fact, the President of the United States was impeached a year ago because of serious and compelling evidence that he may be guilty of at least one - and perhaps several - particularly brutal forcible rapes. "Her chilling account to [Ken] Starr's FBI agents of what she alleges happened to her was later turned over to the House Judicary Committee," writes Michael Isikoff about Juanita Broaddrick in his book Uncovering Clinton, "and, although never made public, [Broaddrick's story] was credited with being a factor in persuading wavering House Republicans to vote articles of impeachment against Clinton."(cont) newsmax.com

NEW YORK, Jan 7 (Reuters) - The Center for International Business Cycle Research (CIBCR) said on Friday its U.S. leading inflation index rose for the sixth consecutive month, to a reading of 109.6 in December, from a downwardly revised 108.3 in November. ''The Leading Inflation Index continued to gain strength on higher reading for components almost across the board,'' the report said. The report attributed the surge in the index to pressures arising from the Employment Population Ratio, industrial materials prices, the National Association of Purchasing Managers' (NAPM) prices paid by producers, and slower deliveries by vendors in NAPM's December report. The six-month smooth growth rate, at 10.1 percent, hit a six-year high, last reached in late 1994. The growth rate was 8.9 percent in November, upwardly revised from the 5.4 percent originally reported. The rate of change is a ratio of the current month's index to its average over the preceding 12 months, expressed as a compound annual rate. November's inflation figure was originally reported at 109.1.
