...exchange for her silence in the Paula Jones case. U.S. News and World Report yesterday released portions of Linda Tripp's tapes, which, they claim, prove that Clinton was helping Lewinsky find a job two months before she was subpoenaed by Jones. At least the independent counsel will be able to console himself with some interesting reading...

...recent fax proclaimed--has won him his share of attention in Washington, some of it puzzled, some mocking. In the online magazine Slate, Jacob Weisberg declares that "Klayman is off his rocker." But at least one of Klayman's early lines of pursuit has been picked up by independent counsel Kenneth Starr, a man who has faced, and faced down, more than a few complaints about his own investigative techniques. Last week Harold Ickes, the former White House deputy chief of staff, was brought before Starr's grand jury to answer questions about how information from the supposedly confidential Pentagon...

...cases encompass a very large patch. Klayman operates like a smaller-scale but even more freewheeling independent counsel, using civil lawsuits to go after Clinton's circle to its most outlying ripples. (He first got noticed in 1996 after he took a deposition from John Huang, the fund raiser embroiled in the Clinton money scandals.) Over the past year, his reach has grown considerably, in part because Judicial Watch received $550,000 in 1997 from Richard Mellon Scaife's Carthage Foundation (see chart). Scaife is the Clinton-hounding Pittsburgh billionaire who subsidizes Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif., the school where...

...little to convince black drivers in Maryland and elsewhere. Profiling--a police practice of viewing certain characteristics as indicators of criminal behavior--is common across the U.S. But authorities uniformly deny that race is one of the characteristics. "It's a shell game," says Bill Mertens, lead outside counsel for the A.C.L.U. in the case against Maryland. "Police use profiling sloppily and rely on racial characteristics in totally illegal ways...

...White House, of course, loves an excuse to stall. Though some of the crumbs dropped in Brill's magazine seem very serious, Starr maintains that he did nothing illegal, or even improper. However, if it can be shown that the independent counsel leaked grand jury evidence to reporters before it became grand jury evidence, that would be a serious breach of the spirit, if not the letter of the law. "I only wanted to talk to them about the timing," Starr said in the interview. No reporter with any direct contact has yet fingered Starr himself as the source...
