...President will find out just how good Kendall is in the next few weeks as independent counsel Kenneth Starr presses Clinton harder than ever to testify. Starr has invited the President's cooperation at least half a dozen times in recent months, and now the courtship between the two men has taken a more coercive turn: last week he took the unprecedented step of serving a sitting President with a subpoena in a criminal matter in which the President himself is in jeopardy.
