Clinton's remorse may gain sympathy
Article Abstract:
It had been widely believed that the tape of President Bill Clinton answering questions under oath about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky would portray him in a negative light when it was released for viewing by the general public. However, a detailed account of the tape published in the New York Times claims that Clinton does not come across as evasive and argumentative, as had been generally thought. Indeed, the newspaper indicates that Clinton could gain sympathy as a result of the release of the tape, as he appears to genuinely regret his behaviour.

'So how do you define sexual relations, Mr President?' (videotape of President Bill Clinton's grand jury testimony broadcast to general public)
Article Abstract:
President Bill Clinton comes across as very evasive at some points during his videotaped evidence to the grand jury about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky, which has now been broadcast to the general public. Public reaction to this evidence is regarded as vital in determining whether Clinton is able to survive as president. Early indications are that the damage to his reputation as a result of the release of the videotape may not be as serious as the White House feared.

Few want it, but go he must
Article Abstract:
Members of the US Congress are unwilling to take the responsibility for implementing impeachment proceedings against President Bill Clinton, as they do not feel that the time is right. However, public opinion is turning against Clinton, and Congress may find itself pushed towards impeaching Clinton. Congress may only avoid impeachment proceedings if Clinton's popularity wanes so rapidly that impeachment becomes unnecessary.
