<<I believe you are wrong about Nixon's Articles of Impeachment. My recollection is that the House Judiciary Committee voted and approved all the Articles including "lying to the American people.">> Only, as you correctly pointed out, because Peter Rodino failed to consult me first. <gg> Doiug

A little humor: Sadly both Bill Clinton and the Pope happened to die on the same day. By mistake, the Pope went to hell and Clinton went to heaven. They both spent a full day in the wrong place before God discovered his mistake and ordered that they be switched. So Clinton and the Pope were rounded up and sent along to the right places. Passing each other along the way, Clinton shouts across the clouds to the Pope: "Hey Pope, you're so lucky, you will really enjoy heaven." The pope replies: "Yes, I'm so looking forward to meeting the Virgin Mary" Clinton yells back: "Sorry, too late for that"

And I remember reading transcripts of the tapes at the time. Minus of course 18 minutes. Sure, Bill. Plus a whole lot of expletives deleted, as you may recall. Of course, that was (presumably) profanity, not pornography, somewhat in contrast to the Starr report. As I said, it was a more civil time. The release of transcripts was very selective, and controlled by the White House. What finally drove things over the edge was a Supreme Court ruling very near the end of the House Judiciary Committee hearings. That ruling said Nixon had to turn over everything, and turned up the proverbial "smoking gun", which showed that, if Nixon didn't know of the breakin in advance, he was in the middle of covering it up the very next day. Before the "smoking gun", the vote was expected to be party line, with maybe 2 Republicans crossing over. Cheers, Dan.
