The turmoil caused by Clinton, Ken Starr and Henry Hyde's band of cowboys has resulted in more weakening, discord, divisiveness and pain in our government and the U.S. than any number of terrorist attacks. BO NEWELL Nellysford, Va.
Maybe Clinton's place in history will not be the greatest. We can only guess. On the other hand, the place in history of the people who kept this entire investigation going for so long won't be so great either. Shame on us! BILLY WETTERER Wood River, Neb.
There is one simple reason why we put up with Clinton: the right-wing radio wackos. We deplore what Clinton did, but when we hear the hatemongers on the radio, we know that Clinton's survival is better for America than success for the Clinton bashers! The Rush Limbaugh imitators are actually helping prop up a flawed President. RICHARD J. ORLOSKI Allentown, Pa.
From Slick Willie in Arkansas to Shifty Willie in his grand jury testimony--let us hope that Clinton becomes Swift Willie, out of the White House. Now! JOSEPH EDMOND BOURQUE Honolulu
What does the ease with which Lewinsky was shuttled in and out of the Oval Office say about the security of the White House? Not much! MARIAN MAIB Holiday Island, Ark.
You should change the name of your magazine to Wasting Time. If I wanted to obsess over trash, I'd go out and buy the National Enquirer. SONIA DELGADILLO San Francisco
Clinton's testimony to the grand jury was very disappointing to me. I felt dizzy after watching him dance around the questions presented to him. I am tired of the legal hairsplitting; why can't he just answer directly? I cannot believe that I have a better memory than the leader of the free world. That is scary. JOHN HUTCHINSON Sterling Heights, Mich.
DIFFERENT KINDS OF PUNISHMENT
If impeachment is too severe a penalty for Clinton and censure too mild, why not consider flogging, Singapore-style? Perhaps one lash for each liaison with Lewinsky might be appropriate. Hillary could administer the punishment, and if it were on pay-per-view TV, enough revenue could be generated to reimburse the long-suffering taxpayer for the cost of the Starr investigation. STANLEY SAPERSTEIN Encino, Calif.
It is time for Clinton and Congress to make a deal. In exchange for dropping impeachment proceedings, the President would agree to wear Sam Donaldson's toupee for the remainder of his term. Harsh, perhaps, but it should satisfy fair-minded people, and will definitely curtail Clinton's romantic appeal. KEVIN MEEHAN Washington
WHAT THE POLLS MEAN
It is curious that polls show Americans heartily approve of the job Clinton is doing as President despite his conduct behind closed doors. But the American public is sending a message: As long as we make a lot of money, the character of the people leading us to the Valley of Plenty doesn't matter. JEREMIAH R. COLE Highland Heights, Ky.
