Words are George Bush's enemies; President-elect Bill Clinton showed today that they can be his friends. That was the dominant impression of a Presidential style in embryo as it emerged from Mr. Clinton's first full-dress news conference since his victory 10 days ago. Whatever one thought of the substance of what he said -- and there was plenty of room for argument, because he stated his view bluntly in some cases -- the man from Little Rock left not the slightest doubt that the White House will get its syntax tightened when he moves in on Jan. 20.

The reaction to the criminal charges against Sol Wachtler, former chief judge of New York's judicial system, puts into bleak perspective the anniversary reviews of the lessons of Anita Hill. The unmistakable conclusion is that established institutions of our society, most dismayingly the judiciary, still do not get it. The case has been treated by the press, public opinion and the legal system as a "tragedy," as if what Mr. Wachtler is accused of -- a months-long criminal campaign against his former lover, Joy Silverman, involving extortion, blackmail, a kidnapping threat and, yes, sexual harassment -- were a fatal but victimless error.
