This week in the saga

Seven days of paper. The country's business goes on in Washington while the defense is assembled on letterhead: an answer to the article of impeachment filed on the second, a refusal to testify under oath, and on the eve of the trial a memorandum whose entire published text is four words long. The Senate sits as a court on the ninth, and the accused will not be in the room.
