Sources close to Lewinsky say there is no indication her attitude on the obstruction issue has softened in recent weeks. That's the main reason Starr has been unable to reach...

A federal judge Wednesday dismissed all tax evasion charges against Webster Hubbell on Wednesday, allowing the central Whitewater figure to slip out from under Starr's thumb and dealing a major blow not only to the independent counsel's case against the President but also to his reputation...
