This October 1998 issue of The Weekly Standard featured Noemie Emery's cover story characterizing Bill Clinton as a "moral exhibitionist" amid the growing scandal consuming his presidency. David Brooks examined the cultural winners and losers of the Clinton era, contrasting Hollywood's ascendance with the decline of traditional institutions like Harvard. The magazine's editorial called for Congress to "Grow Up—and Impeach," while contributing writers analyzed the limits of Ken Starr's investigation, Senate candidate Dottie Lamm's unconventional campaign, and other topics reflecting the political turmoil of the moment.
