The Weekly Standard's editorial leadership called for President Clinton's removal from office in this August 1998 issue, reflecting the intensifying political crisis surrounding the Lewinsky scandal and impeachment proceedings. The cover featured Kenneth Y. Tomlinson's analysis of Boston Globe columnist Mike Barnicle's fall from grace, while the magazine also examined broader cultural and historical topics including liberal education's failures at Black Mountain College and the Vietnam War's lost lessons. This issue captured a pivotal moment in American politics as conservative commentators escalated pressure for Clinton's resignation.
