We say no. The release of the Starr report online is a triumph of a free society. Millions of citizens will read the original, unedited document that will determine the fate of a president. They'll talk about it around the dinner table, at the office, at the barber shop, and at the beauty parlor. But they'll do it better because they'll have better information.
Information oils the wheels of participatory government.
More is better. If we had advice to give as parents, it would be to tell your children as much as they can handle, and to use this moment in history to teach some valuable lessons. For our part, our daughter can learn about the dangers of self-delusion, and to beware the charms of charismatic, powerful men. Our son can learn about the importance of discipline, self-control, and always behaving like a gentleman. Most importantly, our children will learn that no one in America, not even the president, is above the law.
