None of them were right, but Currie felt "the President wanted her to agree with them," the report says. Starr charges that Clinton, worried Currie might be called for a deposition, was engaging in witness tampering.

Primakov, a former journalist, academic and spymaster, is a man who believes in strong government, and presumably felt he had to respond when his President called. The Duma confirmed him overwhelmingly, 315 votes to 63, last Friday. His appointment solves the political stalemate at the top, at least for now, but it does nothing to cure the nation's economic crisis. Primakov has not yet put forward...
