...weeks later, there was still no deal. And other parts of his case were shrinking fast. Federal Judge Susan Webber Wright agreed Thursday with a motion filed by Starr that the Jones investigation was getting in his way; but she ruled in a way Starr never would have asked for.

...claim by David Hale, a former Arkansas municipal judge, that Clinton had put improper pressure on him to okay a loan to Madison Guaranty, a charge Clinton denies. Jim McDougal also denied it before his May 1996 conviction on fraud and conspiracy charges. After that, as part of a deal for a lighter sentence, he changed his story.

The computer maker will pay some $9 billion for Digital Equipment, a dented dynamo of a company based in Framingham, Mass., in a deal that will complete the transformation of Compaq into a global provider of everything from handheld computers to the monster machines that power corporate networks and the Internet. The buyout creates a behemoth with $37 billion in revenues that trails only the $78 billion IBM. "In the early '80s, if we had thought...
