Institute for the Study of Conflict, Ideology, and Policy -- Boston University
http://www.bu.edu/iscip/
Boston University's Institute for the Study of Conflict, Ideology, and Policy (ISCIP) studies the political and security developments of "conflict-prone societies in crisis, particularly Russia and other post-Soviet republics." ISCIP analyzes the "destabilizing factors" of these republics to inform and advise US policymakers. This Website features ISCIP publications written by research specialists studying the political transformations in the Russian Federation and the Newly Independent States. The full-text editions of Editorial Digest, a biweekly review of current events, and Perspective, a bimonthly scholarly journal of regional analysis, are posted at the site for current and archived issues. In addition, the site provides abstracts, reviews, and tables of contents for policy books published on post-Soviet nations. ISCIP also provides access to its document database, which contains the text of over 60,000 items collected by institute researchers. Although the document database is searchable, the search facility is unwieldy, and users are advised to read the detailed search instructions provided. [AO]

Chaucer: An Annotated Guide to Online Resources
http://www.virgil.org/chaucer/
Geoffrey Chaucer -- courtier, diplomat, and poet -- is arguably one of the most important figures in English literature. His philosophically profound, yet at times bawdy, body of work represents true mastery of narrative art. David Wilson-Okamura, a Chaucer enthusiast and PhD candidate at the University of Chicago, has compiled Chaucer: An Annotated Guide to Online Resources to provide easy access to high-quality online information on the great late fourteenth-century poet. The selective guide, which offers succinct annotations divided into eleven well-organized sections, covers all aspects of Chaucerian scholarship. Sections are devoted to historical and cultural backgrounds, scholarly bibliographies, biographies, literary commentaries, images and illustrations, linguistic supplements, critical analyses, teaching tools, study guides, and online texts.

Impeachment Inquiry -- Committee on the Judiciary, US House of Representatives
http://www.house.gov/judiciary/icreport.htm
This week's In the News focuses on the forthcoming debate and vote in the US House of Representatives. These seven resources provide background information, primary materials, recent news, political commentary, and legal analysis. On Friday and Saturday of last week, the House Judiciary Committee, after weeks of partisan debate, drafted and approved four articles of impeachment against President William Clinton. The first article alleges that Clinton, during his appearance before a grand jury last August, "provided perjurious, false, and misleading testimony" concerning his lawsuit with Paula Jones and his relationship with Monica Lewinsky. The second article also alleges that Clinton committed perjury, citing two instances of misleading testimony given in Paula Jones case: the first occurring in December 1997 during Clinton's responses to written questions, the second occurring during his January deposition. The third article of impeachment alleges that Clinton, in relation to the Jones case, committed acts that "prevented, obstructed, and impeded the administration of justice" in seven instances between December 7, 1997 and January 26, 1998. The fourth and final article alleges that Clinton abused his presidential power by proffering false statements to Congress in his answers to the 81 questions that were asked of him last month during the Judiciary Committee's impeachment inquiry. On Thursday, the four articles of impeachment will be introduced, debated, and voted on by the 435 members of the House. If a majority of representatives endorses one or more of the articles, then Clinton will be tried in the Senate, wherein a two-thirds majority vote is required to remove the president from office. Political pundits believe that the imminent vote for impeachment is contingent upon the decisions of about two dozen moderate Republicans who are publicly undecided about the vote.

Clinton Accused, a special report provided by Washingtonpost.com, is the best resource for locating information on the impeachment procedures. The site offers background information, posts the latest news, profiles nearly thirty key people in the "tangled web of accusations facing the president," presents several photo galleries, and provides full-text access to primary materials, including hearing transcripts and legal documents. In addition, users may search the Clinton Accused database, which contains all primary materials and a news archive. The President Under Fire is part of the Issue in Depth series in The New York Times on the Web. The site contains many of the features of Clinton Accused as well as many audio and video clips. C-SPAN.org's Investigation of the President provides detailed congressional information regarding the impending impeachment, including multimedia coverage of recent events and an archive of key documents not provided by other news sources. For citizens "interested in developing a better understanding" of the legal processes dominating the news, JURIST: The Law Professors' Network has produced the Guide to Impeachment and Censure Materials Online. This comprehensive guide links users to online resources divided into ten sections: Impeachment Primers, Constitutional and Statutory Provisions on Impeachment, Impeachments in History, Impeachment Procedures, Cases on Impeachment, Censure, Clinton Controversy, Academic Opinion, Public Opinion, and Further Reading. PBS's Online NewsHour publishes political analysis and commentary at The Impeachment Debate Website. National Public Radio will broadcast live audio coverage of the forthcoming impeachment proceedings and post online reports at a special site, Impeachment Inquiry of President Bill Clinton. Impeachment Inquiry, a site of the Committee on the Judiciary of the US House of Representatives, provides official reports, statements, and resolutions released by the committee. [AO]
