Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

"I shall despair. There is no creature loves me;
And if I die, no soul will pity me: Nay, wherefore should they, since that I myself
Find in myself no pity to myself?

A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!

...and isn't it ironic that a man whose desperate plea for a conveyance is immortalized in literature would spend a part of eternity buried under a parking lot full of means of transportation...

At least some revisionist historians regard Richard as a good king unjustly overthrown. Shakespeare wrote during the reign of the Tudors. So his portrayal of Richard could be viewed as history not only written by the victors, but also written for them.

For the record, it's a historical certainty that the one responsible for ordering the young princes' deaths was Henry VII. In fact, The Tudors wiped out all potential opposition. By the end of Elizabeth's reign there was hardly a York left anywhere.

Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious spring by DNA analysis.
Who would have thought that there were Plantagenets still around and identifiable?
As to the Princes, see Desmond Seward, Richard III. The debate continues.
