<<IMO this is a magnanimous gesture of bi-partisanship, exceeding even Nixon's impeachment proceedings. >> Actually, the Republicans were granted that same power during the Nixon hearings. It looks as if Hyde is trying to stay very close to the way the prior hearings were run, in order to avoid any legitimate accusations of bias.

Yes, Bill! Here's a quote from Congressman Howard Coble, R-NC, in his opening comments: "If Republicans had sought to be unfair, it could have been accomplished by stacking the staff deck. During the Watergate hearings, a total of 134 staffers were assigned, 12 of whom represented the Republican side. What have these current Republicans done regarding staffing - 134 as in the Watergate era? Indeed not. The staff in the President Clinton investigation is the grand total of 21 - 14 Republicans, seven Democrats. Not 122 to 12, but 14 to 7 - obviously fair."
