I have not been impressed with the millennial hype that we have been forced to endure during the past few years. Since President Clinton campaigned on the theme of “building a bridge to the 21st century” and then, in victory, termed his presidency as the “first of the next millenium”—we have been subjected to an excessive abuse of the “new era” notion.

Speculation that First Lady Hillary Clinton may run for a Senate seat in 2000 has dominated political news coverage in recent days.

When the votes were finally taken, the Senate did not convict President Clinton and remove him from office. The trial was over—but no one declared victory. No one celebrated because everyone lost.
