...worse than ?protecting someone she loves? (presumably the President). Her mother, Marcia, facing a third day of grand jury testimony Thursday, was ?emotionally drained? by having to testify against her daughter, said her attorney. And no wonder. ?[Monica] told her everything about the sex,? according to Linda Tripp?s agent, Luciane Goldberg. Even the relationship between Ginsburg and Ken Starr is described in the langue d?amour: ?He never writes, he never calls,? joked Lewinsky?s attorney...
...Into this atmosphere comes another emotionally charged question: Should the Secret Service be forced to testify against the man they are sworn to protect? Starr has subpoenaed one retired and one current member of the President?s bodyguard, one day after former agent Lewis Fox claimed to have seen Clinton and Lewinsky in the Oval Office together. Janet Reno confirmed that subpoenas have been issued, but said the Administration hadn't decided whether to fight them.

When wandering in a labyrinth, especially one whose walls are hung with mirrors, it's difficult to follow a single thread. The field of right-wing publishing alone offers dozens of them.

Not only did Goldberg serve in her youth as an undercover agent for Nixon during the 1972 election, and not only did she suggest that Tripp tape-record Lewinsky, but she has also been a tipster for Star, which broke...
Tripp did this even though she was not in any jeopardy, not even of losing her job. She comes across as a busybody with a large chip on her shoulder who'd had her first attempt at a White House book rejected. Egged on by book agent Lucianne Goldberg, Tripp reached for the On button. No one likes a snitch, especially one with so much to gain. So on Friday, Tripp explained, "I struggled long and hard... I was facing substantial risk of losing everything I have aspired to..." She went on to rail against "McCarthyistic" tactics...
