LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
mell the fear as Nashville Scene's Michael Sims takes
a whiff of the indoor pollution that threatens our health in "Invisible Enemies." On a lighter note, colleague Walter Jowers exposes the uselessness of spray-on roof sealer, snow chains in a can
and other aerosol artifacts in "Let Us Spray."
As the impeachment drama nears its final act (please!), profiles
of two pols illuminate the behind-the-scenes action. In "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington... And Kicks Newt's Ass!", Tucson Weekly's Emil Franzi shows how disgruntled hard-line conservatives such as Congressman Matt Salmon forced the most partisan showdown
Washington has seen in decades. And in "End The Nightmare," Memphis Flyer's Jackson Baker essays former Sen. Dale Bumpers, the president's most eloquent defender during the Senate trial.
Following up on last issue's package examining the Olympics bribery
scandal, Salt Lake City Weekly's Christopher Smart finds
in "Getting Lucky?" that a bogus letter may have fired the starter gun on the investigation.
