The soccer matches from Euro 2004 topped ratings for the Super Bowl, drawing close to 100 million viewers. I was under the impression that the World Cup final was always the most watched sporting event (despite the article asserting that this honor was held by the Super Bowl).

Ken Starr has a piece on Opinion Journal responding to Slick Willie's recounting of certain events leading to the special prosecutor investigation and, ultimately, impeachment by the House of Representatives.
