Even with the Tomahawks flying and Sudan insisting that assaulting factories in Khartoum means having to say you?re sorry, Ken Starr?s grand jury keeps rollin? along. Although the special prosecutor needs to wrap up the case quickly and send the whole shebang off to the Hill, there are still some lose ends to take care of, such as hearing again from presidential pal Bruce Lindsey. And something tells us those 23 angry citizens haven?t heard the last of Monica...
WASHINGTON: Just what did that "improper" relationship involve, anyway? As Monica Lewinsky returned for five hours of grand jury grilling Thursday, a special issue of TIME reports that her account of the White House tryst may be significantly damaging to President Clinton.

But that was as detailed as the President's five-minute mea culpa was going to get Monday night -- and by all accounts, not even his grand jury testimony mentioned the specifics. He came out fighting too. Attacks on the independent counsel peppered a speech that was "surprisingly defiant," according to TIME Washington correspondent Jay Branegan. "He's daring Ken Starr to subpoena him to get the rest of the testimony...
