In light of the conclusion of the Senate trial of the president, the editors of THE WEEKLY STANDARD asked 22 writers, thinkers, and political actors the following questions: “President William Jefferson Clinton has been impeached and acquitted. What have we learned? What should we do now?”

THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL of President Clinton is over. No matter what individual feelings are, as a country we should look to the future and not dwell on these recent misdeeds. Democratic and Republican leaders in Washington must now debate tax relief, education, foreign policy, and other issues that clearly divide the two parties.
