Lewinsky flew back to Washington from California to comply. She arrived at the Mayflower Hotel, walking in wearing a baseball cap and surrounded by jostling TV cameramen. Rep. Henry Hyde, the lead prosecutor, quietly wrote Starr on Thursday seeking his help in bringing Lewinsky to the table after her lawyers had refused to make her available voluntarily. And in his own remarks on the Senate floor, Hyde responded to a question posed to him with a ringing defense of the effort he is leading to convict Clinton and remove him from office. I can think of several that I'm willing to lose my office over.
Abortion is one.
National defense is another. About four out of 10 said they disapprove of how Democrats are handling it. The survey of 1,024 adults taken Wednesday and Thursday had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. The Lewinsky ruling was the latest on a series of rapid fire developments that left even senators struggling to keep up with the ebb and flow of events. I think it's going to go on for a while.
