Managers Find Their Hopes Are Frustrated nytimes.com Another one for amusement only, as the trial continues to look like it's going to go out with a whimper, not a bang, and sooner rather than later at this point. But it was Hyde who best summed up the relationship between the Senate and the 13 prosecutors, at least through the eyes of the prosecutors. "You view us as reformed alcoholics," Hyde told a senator one afternoon, a big grin on his face. "You're very proud of what we attempted to do in our lives. You just don't want us hanging out on the porch all that long."

Marathoner-Lawmakers Now Sprint for the Finish Line nytimes.com On the sooner rather than later note: "You should at least let us have Monica Lewinsky here live," one House prosecutor pleaded before the court. But the senators sat silent in their seats, preparing a firm bipartisan rebuff -- a cross-aisle shudder of sorts -- at the very invitation that they personally eye "the demeanor, the temperament, the spontaneity" of the former White House intern with whom the President misbehaved. The 70-to-30 vote barring live testimony from Ms. Lewinsky in the Senate chamber closely paralleled the public's polled attitudes against any fresh spectacle. With the vote, there was a sense in the Capitol of the court's inevitably rounding into the homestretch of a yearlong national steeplechase, of members' finally securing the chamber against the tabloidization of Senate dignity. Out in the corridors, the chief prosecutor, Representative Henry J. Hyde, was sounding increasingly weary as he coined a new word -- "backlashy" -- that echoed Dole's frustration at how the public seems to be blaming the Republican Party more than the misbehaving President for the continuing impeachment ordeal. And on the "out with a whimper, not a bang" note, the exciting conclusion: When Gregory B. Craig, special White House counsel, asked how America could ever protect its children from embarrassing details that might surface in those dueling snippets on Saturday, two of Chief Justice Rehnquist's four young grandchildren could be seen snoozing unscandalized in the gallery. Earlier, all four watched, proudly smiling in fascination, as their grandfather arrived in his gold-striped robe, gaveled the place quiet and once more intoned, "The Senate will convene as a court of impeachment."
