...Friday, July 17, around 7 p.m., Starr sent over his subpoena to Clinton's lawyer, David Kendall, at Williams & Connolly. And what happened? Nothing. No answer. Nothing Saturday. Nothing Sunday. Kendall hadn't even discussed it with Clinton yet: the President was out of town, and his lawyer didn't want to go over the bad news by phone. There was still time: the date on the subpoena for Clinton to appear at the federal courthouse was July 28, nine days away. But if the White House lawyers were going to fight it, they certainly were taking their sweet time...
...TIME/CNN poll showed his approval ratings holding steady at 62%, even as most people conclude he is lying through his teeth: 60% believe he had an affair, up from 48% in January. The findings bolstered the arguments of those who suggested that Clinton was right when he declared on Friday in the Rose Garden that "No one wants to get this matter behind us more than I do, except maybe all the rest of the American people...

Furthermore, Qualcomm promises to post a patch on that site as early as Friday afternoon (a far cry from Microsoft and Netscape, who are taking substantially longer to patch up their bugs). If their home page is too busy, or if the Eudora patch (like Microsoft's first attempt) fails to completely debug the problem, you might want to remember what your Mother should have told...
International terrorism may have been on the wane in recent years, but Friday's simultaneous bombing of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania indicates what may be a new trend: "With airline security having been beefed up and U.S. embassies in the Middle East now heavily fortified, we may see an increase in car-bomb attacks at more vulnerable facilities," says TIME correspondent Douglas Waller. "Africa has traditionally been a low-risk area and our embassies there aren't heavily protected. But these attacks show that terrorists prefer the path of least resistance...
