...Starr's folks were busy talking to other witnesses, in an apparent design to spook Monica into throwing in her lot with Starr. Some Starr allies were wary of Monica's new sharpie dealmakers; they weren't sure how much contact Cacheris had with his old tennis partner Bob Bennett, a Clinton attorney. And so just as Monica had changed her lawyers, Starr needed to change his. He pulled into the case an old Stein colleague, Sam Dash, a fellow member of the small legal freemasonry that had survived the Watergate hearings intact. On Tuesday, July 21, Starr himself called...
...debate inside the White House about whether Clinton should testify was tightly limited to six lawyers: Kendall, Ruff, Bennett, associate counsel Cheryl Mills, Kendall's colleague Nicole Seligman and Mickey Kantor. Each morning the inner circle met by conference call, with out-of-body participation by Kantor, calling in from Hong Kong. The instincts of Kendall had always been for Clinton to say as little as possible for as long as possible. None of the more political-minded advisers, such as Kantor and Bennett, could overcome Kendall's doctrine that no news was good news. Kendall often said little during...
...Congress goes public, and possibly even longer. But it's a sure bet the White House would love to find out much earlier -- in advance of Clinton's August 17 testimony, in fact.

...Kendall found his way into the heart of the Washington establishment when he moved to the city's most storied criminal-law firm, Williams & Connolly, founded by the quintessential insider, Edward Bennett Williams. The firm and its connections into virtually every corner of Washington's criminal bar account for much of the leverage Kendall holds; many of the figures in Starr's case hired lawyers recommended by Kendall, Barnett and others at their firm, and Kendall has long-standing ties to Lewinsky's lawyers as well. As one witness after another parades before the grand jury, it is perfectly legal...
...over the Fourth of July weekend, headquarters called Spring Hill to check on how many people were in the plant working on maintenance chores, accusing them of larding the payroll. "We're working on things, and they're calling down here saying we have too many people," gripes Mike Bennett, bargaining chairman of U.A.W. 1853. "You save a few hundred dollars in overtime, but you could lose millions down the road." If the line goes down, the dollars mount fast...
