WASHINGTON: After the President's personal secretary, Betty Currie, endured a battery of press attention to testify Tuesday, it was the turn of Monica Lewinsky's former boss, Leon Panetta, to step into the jaws of Kenneth Starr's grand jury Wednesday.

Jason Epstein, now a Random House vice president and executive editor, was Morrison's boss in those days, and he has remained a friend ever since. "She was a wonderful colleague," he says, "always bright and apt and funny. I used to love to go sit in her office, just for the pleasure of it; it was full of plants, I remember. It was clear...
...they did what Sprewell did? And they wouldn't be fired or suspended for just a year either. It all comes down to respecting authority. If the NBA lets Sprewell back on the playing court, what will this tell people--that it's O.K. to punch out your boss? I hope the NBA shows some backbone and finally takes a stand on the violence in its game. DOUGLAS KOSZUTA Nekoosa...
