21, 1998 President Clinton pulled the trigger last Wednesday, unleashing
four days of aerial raids against Iraq, and we reacted by ordering a half-dozen

In response to the Impeachment proceedings in Washington D.C.,
the Sacramento Bee lead with that story on both December 20th and
21st. However, the two newspapers were quite different in tone of
coverage.
On the 20th, the Bee ran a solemn picture of President Clinton,
with his head down, and wife Hillary behind him. The large headline
read "Clinton Impeached" with several articles on the front page
related to that story, the lead one being about the actual impeachment.
As the scene in Washington changed, so did the landscape of the
Bee's front cover. The next day, with news of Senate members wishing
to end the process quickly, the Bee ran a picture of the president
looking upbeat, walking hand-in-hand with his daughter, Chelsea.
The tone of the articles, photographs, and layout was much more
encouraging to Clinton's future in the White House, suggesting that
this probably wasn't the end of his presidency. Meanwhile, the huge
news this week has yet to show any impact in my life and work. I
continued to shoot the traditional Christmas images: a Nativity
scene, holiday shoppers, and a weather feature after snow fell very
low here in California's Central Valley. Life goes on.
