Starr's team lost no time in signaling that it was not about to back down because of a four-minute speech. On Tuesday morning the independent counsel was back in his office by 5:30 and issued another call for Lewinsky to testify. The plan is apparently designed to test the President's latest testimony for perjury, by contrasting her detailed story with the President's evasive account. Far from receding in any way, the confrontation between Starr and the President seemed to raise the stakes and send both men back to their corners more ornery than ever...
...report and found out what all the facts were." Senate Republican leader Trent Lott purposely avoided the cameras, instead issuing a written statement from his home in Pascagoula, Miss.

...come true. Shannon says Justice's ongoing probe into former top White House aide Harold Ickes' fund-raising practices could easily spill into Gore's lap. "Ickes was at all the important meetings, and what he did could implicate Gore. And although Ickes isn't covered under the Independent Counsel Act, she's thinking about appointing one anyway." If that happens? Party at Dick Gephardt...
