    As Sean Wilentz writes in The New Republic ....

    Inquiring minds may want to know. Ms Google brought this to me:

    Don't forget to read (skim) the comments after the article. Always the best part!.

    Non definitive wiki Factoid:

    Wilentz appeared before the House Judiciary Committee on December 8, 1998 to argue against the Clinton impeachment.
