That's because the President's bodyguards have almost certainly witnessed a great deal more about the President's private life than they have been willing to divulge. The secret sessions in recent weeks were designed, Justice lawyers say, to help narrow the scope of Starr's questions and, if possible, enable officers to answer them under oath without having to slug out the privilege issue in the courts. Much of the questioning focused on events occurring in the days before Lewinsky's abrupt transfer out of the White House in April 1996. Starr wants to know whether some incident...

But the scientist won't get any money from the deal...
...things soon got worse for Kolata. On Wednesday the Los Angeles Times suggested that her enthusiasm for Folkman's work might have been influenced by a potential book deal. She had, in fact, at the urging of her agent John Brockman, dashed off an e-mail message that Brockman told her could, in the hands of the right publisher, be worth a cool $2 million. But after meeting with her editors on Tuesday, Kolata quashed any idea of writing a book. "I did not plan a book," she says. "I did not write anything that anyone could remotely consider...
