From what he has learned so far, it must give Kendall pause to realize that if Clinton testifies willingly or under court order, the President may not have much room to maneuver. Starr will want to explore every detail, pressing Clinton far harder than Paula Jones' attorneys did last January about the details of his alleged relationship with Lewinsky. If they didn't have sex, as Clinton insisted last January, what did they do exactly? And Clinton has never been asked in detail about the steps taken by Vernon Jordan and secretary Betty Currie to find a job for Lewinsky...
...some promising leads. One woman worked in an Alpine day-care center and routinely drank eight glasses of tap water a day and even gave some to her infant daughter. Yet both of them were healthy. That seemed to exonerate the water supply, until the woman added one final detail. When she is home on the weekends, she told Kennedy, she drinks only from her own well. It was during the last weekend in June that many victims said they began feeling sick. By avoiding town water on those days, the woman and her daughter might have dodged an infectious...
Starr has long been seeking the testimony of two of the uniformed officers who guard the White House hallways. But last week he startled Washington by issuing his first subpoena to a member of Clinton's plainclothes security detail--Cockell, who until last week was the special agent in charge. Cockell joined the presidential detail almost exactly two years ago. That was two months after Lewinsky had been transferred from the White House to the Pentagon, but it put him in a position to talk about events of this past winter--and not just the Bosnia trip. Starr may want...
...stint in the Special Forces in Vietnam. Cockell, 47, served in the Army and was a St. Louis, Mo., homicide detective before he came aboard 17 years ago. After stints guarding Ronald Reagan and George Bush, Cockell ran the agency's San Francisco office before returning to the detail in June 1996, two months after Monica Lewinsky left the White House. Last February he became the SAIC...
...recruits spend six or seven years in the field before getting their first taste of the presidential detail. Three additional years of seasoning are required before an agent is given the responsibility of preparing security for a major presidential event. (It falls to the SAIC to plan for such dicey foreign ventures as Clinton's 1997 Bosnia tour.) The schedule is routinely grueling. When the President is traveling, a normal eight-hour shift can easily stretch to 18 or even 24 hours. After every six weeks on the job, members of the detail return to the service's facility...
