Then there's Linda Tripp, whose voice we heard for the first time this week. Addressing an ungrateful nation from the courthouse beach, as the grand-jury stakeout is known, and shaking like a leaf, Tripp made a desperate effort to humanize herself as a truth-seeking patriot, a "suburban mom" protecting her kids. "Who am I?" she began. "I'm you," she answered, "an average American." I shouted back at the TV, "No, you're NOT! Take that back...
Starr used the time to press hard on other fronts. The week of July 20 saw more action at the federal courthouse than at a beach on a hot day. He held sessions on Wednesday, not just Tuesday and Thursday, as Oval Office secretary Betty Currie wrapped up her testimony. The next day Clinton confidant Harold Ickes reappeared, along with the head of the President's Secret Service detail and two uniformed officers. Starr was pushing ahead so fast that he used two grand juries simultaneously to collect testimony...
...three- and four-day cruises take you to Nassau, Bahamas, where gamblers can get their fix, and to a private Disney island called Castaway Cay. On this 1,000-acre preserve, kids are supervised in water play, while adults stroll (or bike ride) off to a remote beach for a massage and swimming. In the evening, they return to the ship for dinner in Lumiere's restaurant, the Parrot Cay or the Animators' Palate, where for dessert they get to "paint" their own sundae with chocolate, strawberry and mango sauces. Then it's off to one of three Broadway-style...
...preparation for a five-night, 10-show Broadway run that will include a performance to be aired live on HBO Sunday, Aug. 9. "Welcome to the Seiny workshop," he cracked to a sold-out house at an old haunt of his, the 250-seat Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, Calif., last week. After several years of the lush life of a sitcom phenomenon, is Seinfeld still funny in front of a microphone? That's the question he wants answered. The fans, however, seem less interested in having a transcendent comedy experience than in simply getting close to their cathode...
That would have been perfectly understandable. In a way, all the principals in our latest scandal have spent a lot of time trying to improve the picture of themselves that's in the record. Monica Lewinsky subjected herself to glitz-porn on the beach in an effort to replace that awful shot of her in the beret. In hiring a spokesman, Kenneth Starr was hoping we'd forget that picture of him smiling insipidly in his driveway while holding a black plastic bag of garbage. The President hopes that pictures of him toasting world leaders will replace the picture...
