Even to some defenders, Starr is beginning to look like a detective who has lost the thread of his case. Named in 1994 to investigate the Clintons' Whitewater land investment with Jim and Susan McDougal--a mandate that was broadened to include Vince Foster's suicide, the White House travel-office firings, the Administration's possible misuse of FBI files and several other matters--Starr has obtained 12 convictions and guilty pleas. But nearly three years and more than $30 million later, the American public is little closer to understanding the circumstances and import of the original land deals. Questions...
...hand, Kenneth Starr will look for clues to whether the First Lady made moves to obstruct his investigation. In her initial January 1996 grand jury testimony, Mrs. Clinton was questioned only about telephone conversations she had in the days following the death of Deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster, the disappearance of Whitewater-related documents from his office, and reasons for her two-year delay in handing over Rose Law Firm billing records, sources told the Associated Press.

Before being shooed away by military police, he claimed, he had spotted several little bodies strewn nearby.

...trains of balloons that carried acoustical equipment designed to monitor Soviet nuclear tests. So that the balloons could be tracked by radar, they were equipped with corner reflectors. Records showed that one such balloon train was launched on June 4 and was tracked to within 20 miles of the Foster ranch before it disappeared from the radar scopes in mid-June. Even more telling, Moore reported, the corner reflectors were put together with beams made of balsa wood and coated with "Elmer's-type" glue (to strengthen them). Also, he noted, the New York toy company that manufactured the reflectors...
...uncover the Charles Moore revelations. Pflock also found gaping holes in the testimony of such "witnesses" as Frank Kaufman and Jim Ragsdale. Pflock's conclusion: "It is all but certain that at least the great majority, if not all, of what was found at the debris field on the Foster ranch" was the wreckage of a Project Mogul balloon...
