...gave that book to Starr during one of their first encounters back in January, these sources tell TIME, and thus handed him a skeleton key that could help in tracking down the White House visitation records and phone logs, as well as grilling the Secret Service agents, in an effort to reconstruct the relationship from beginning to end. The notebook includes a chronicle of events that took place during months not covered by Tripp's audiotapes. When Starr finally got his chance to question Lewinsky, the book may have helped him test her credibility and jog her memory once...
...ascent: his in-your-face campaign style could lure a fresh wave of young voters, as well as win back blue-collar constituents and reinvigorate African-American voters outraged by Engler's conservative, pro-business policies. Fieger admits his mudslinging is starting to yield "diminishing returns" and hurting his effort to broaden his constituency in a general election. He says he'd like a more issues-oriented race...

Evidence from multiple sources has persuaded them that leader KIM JONG IL is pushing the construction of a new reactor--underground to confound U.S. spy satellites--and trying to design usable atom bombs, possibly including missile warheads. Other analysts disagree; some Clinton Administration officials think hard-liners are leaking these reports to choke off congressional support for oil shipments to North Korea, which the U.S. pledged to fund in 1994 as part of a deal that shut down Pyongyang's known nuclear program.
