Special Section: Long Road to Impeachment
This week President Clinton enters the final phase of his historic Senate impeachment trial, only the second chief executive in U.S. history to be one step away from the Constitution’s ultimate political punishment.
Often, in the 375 days since the world first learned of Clinton’s affair with Monica S. Lewinsky, the path to impeachment has resembled a glacier inching down a mountain--slow but irresistable.
Far from inevitable, however, the outcome was shaped by a series of pivotal decisions, and by the unusual cast of characters who made them.
With a wealth of new information and fresh detail, a special report by Times staff writers describes how Clinton, the Senate and the entire country came to where they now stand. This week’s special Sunday Report, Pathway to Peril, follows the main news section in today’s Times.
