Uh-oh! Salon Magazine? Firecracker at Lewinsky Dad's Home LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A firecracker was stuffed into a mail slot at Monica Lewinsky's father's home Thursday and exploded. No one was injured and there was no damage. Miss Lewinsky, her father, Dr. Bernard Lewinsky, and her stepmother, Barbara, weren't home at the time, police Officer Shelley Savage said. The firecracker exploded in the Brentwood home, 10 miles west of downtown Los Angeles, at about 11 a.m. ''It was put through the mail slot. It ignited. There was no damage,'' police Detective Joseph Aparicio said. ''It's a prank, a nuisance thing.'' No arrests were made. Ms. Lewinsky's spokeswoman, Judy Smith, refused to disclose the former White House intern's whereabouts. AP-NY-09-17-98 1516EDT

<<If you want these hearings to have a modicum of non-partisanship and fairness, then you have to talk about the people who are going to pass judgment>> The Senate will pass judgement. Hyde is not in the Senate. <<The American people in a poll believe (something like 65%) that Clinton's morality and ethics is no worse than the members of Congress>> Does that make what Clinton did okay? A similar percentage believe that the entire affair is costing Clinton his credibility and has affected his ability to lead, a much more relevant statistic. <<That tells you a lot about what people are going to think when this Congress begins the impeachment proceedings against Clinton. >> Hopefully they will do what is right, not what polls tell them we think. If this was a popularity contest, we wouldn't need a Congress or a Senate - we could run the country by having opinion polls taken on each issue. This entire process is explicitly in the hands of the Congress and Senate, not the people.
