Clinton's inner circle takes some comfort in the fact that in contrast to typical grand-jury testimony, the President's lawyer will remain at his side rather than having to wait outside. "Kendall's job will be to sit there with a briefcase full of socks ready to stuff them into his mouth," jokes a Washington defense lawyer.

Warning prosecutors that if Lewis were recalled, she would criticize them for cruelty and reignite a public backlash from her first appearance, Martin is said to have suggested a compromise: allow her to testify in a deposition outside...
...with her dreaded day before the grand jury over, Monica, as much by instinct as priority, turned to Martin upon arriving on the first floor of the courthouse. "Where's my mom?" she asked. "She's at home," said the Minister of Defense. "Let's get you home...
