...wing conspiracy" that Hillary Rodham Clinton once said was out to get her husband can be a little hard to pin down. But among the President's defenders, one basic diagram goes this way: at the center is what they call the iron triangle, an illicit cooperation between independent counsel Kenneth Starr and the lawyers for Paula Jones. At the hypotenuse is Linda Tripp, the go-between who first alerted Starr to Monica Lewinsky's false affidavit in the Jones case. Around this triangle is a circle, a group of loosely affiliated Clinton haters who fostered ties among the inner...
...deputy Jackie Bennett, would have allowed Starr more time to craft his strategy to get jurisdiction over the Lewinsky angle. And it also would have lengthened the period in which Starr was looking into the Jones case without first receiving permission from Reno, a serious problem given the Independent Counsel Act's tough rules against free-lance investigating. Starr's spokesman Charles Bakaly denies that the office began probing before Tripp called.

...President is impeached may depend on the tone of the hearings rather than the body of evidence. The Democrats want them to be about sex and Starr. The Republicans want them to be about abusing the law and the power of the presidency, which is why chief G.O.P. counsel David Schippers last week recalibrated Starr's rap sheet against Clinton so that the focus is on charges like obstruction of justice, witness tampering and, grandest of all, conspiracy. Between now and Nov. 3, with lawmakers out campaigning, the committee's staff members will function as quietly as possible as they...
