A world away, the warplanes he'd or- dered into the skies over Iraq rained de- struction on military targets. On Capitol Hill, Republicans lined up in the Chamber determined to destroy him. But in the Oval Office there was no TV: political and military aides were elsewhere. Bill Clinton, looking tired and haggard, sat alone on a blustery, steel-gray Saturday af- ternoon with a friend and spiritual adviser. a Baptist pastor named Tony Campolo. "What will your legacy be?" Campolo likes to ask when he preaches. "How will you be remembered?" As Clinton left the office he learned the answer. As of 1:24 p.m. on Dec. 19, 1998, he would be known by a harsh, rarely used word: "impeached." After the solemn prayers came the fighting words. With the House vote, Clinton became only the second president-and the first in 180 years-to face a legal trial in the Senate. He now stands formally accused of perjury and obstruction of justice. But the vote mar- gins were razor-thin and sharply partisan. Only five Democrats joined the Republicans in approving the two articles of impeach- ment. And so afterward. on the lawn near the Rose Garden, the president offered no apolo- gies, and no hint he would resign. His GOP foes, he said coolly. should find a way in the Senate to craft a "reasonable, bipartisan and proportionate" deal to avoid trial. With Hil- lary Clinton and Al Gore at his side-and 80 House Democrats standing behind him- Clinton vowed to serve "until the last hour of the last day of my term." Still, it had to be the saddest of mo- ments. Clinton, after all, was impeached exactly one year to the day after Monica Lewinsky received a subpoena to testify in the Paula Jones case-the legal event that triggered the crisis now enveloping him. As he stood beneath a magnolia tree. his jaw jutted, he tightly gripped Hillary's SURPRISE EXIT hand and stared off toward the Potomac.
