ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT. Rep. Al Green is drawing them up: “The articles have little chance of seeing the light of day in a House chamber controlled by Republicans, who have rallied behind Trump amid multiple investigations into ties between Russia and members of the president's inner circle. But Green's gambit highlights the growing apprehension many Democrats have toward the president, and it's sure to energize a liberal base that's sounded the impeachment alarm with increasing volume as the Russian investigation saga has evolved.”

CLAPPER. Watergate pales in comparison to Trump-Russia probe: “I lived through Watergate. I was on active duty then as a young officer in the Air Force, and it was a scary time. But it was against the backdrop of all the post-Vietnam trauma, which seemed, at least in my memory, amplified the crisis in our system with Watergate…I have to say though that I think when you compare the two, Watergate pales, really, in my view, compared to what we're confronting now.”

COMMUNITY REFERRAL SERVICE. Looking back at Indianapolis's Gay Switchboard: “The Community Referral Service of Indianapolis was a simple thing. It consisted of a phone number patched to an answering service. The answering service sent alerts to an on-call “operator” through a pager. Operators, armed with a three-ring binder they'd crammed with wide-ranging information, took shifts answering the page. The incoming queries varied: Where can I find a doctor who's comfortable treating a gay man? A divorce lawyer who'd understand? A therapist? Where are the gay bars? Where are the bath houses?”
