After secretly checking out houses as storied as the Auchincloss mansion in Georgetown, the couple agreed last Friday to buy a six-bedroom, seven-bath, $2.8 million colonial on a third of an acre in an exclusive neighborhood. Secluded and quietly elegant, it has a spectacular garden in back, with a pool tucked in amid hundred-year-old trees. Nearby is the Naval Observatory...

Finally, there was Ken Starr, the rosy-cheeked champion of law and order--beaten, in the end, as the perjured, priapic president cast himself (ah, irony!) as the defender of the Constitution and the rule...
