...Schmidt of the Washington Post, Jackie Judd at ABC and Newsweek's Michael Isikoff. The Post's media guru Howard Kurtz talks of a "genuine sense of discomfort in media ranks" that Starr would simply name names so easily. Even more discomforting for the all-day news networks: Their grand jury sources have suddenly dried up. For once, no one knows in advance which witness will appear Tuesday. Looks like Johnson's verbal spanking is working already...
Starr has been struggling to make a case out of circumstantial evidence. If Lewinsky tells his grand jury that she and the President did indeed have sex--or better still, that he attempted to get her to lie about it in her sworn statement to the lawyers for Paula Jones--it would be the automatic centerpiece of Starr's report to Congress, his best evidence not only of perjury but also of Clinton's obstructing justice. She could also make life very difficult for Vernon Jordan, whose job-hunting assistance for Lewinsky could be made to look like an attempt...
That buddy system is important because it's perfectly legal for attorneys to keep one another informed about what their clients have told Starr's grand jury. Lewinsky's lawyers will want to stay up to date on what Starr has learned from other witnesses before his grand jury. "The fact that we can talk to each other if we need to is good," Cacheris told TIME. That makes it harder for Starr to intimidate Lewinsky with false threats or claims that he knows more than he does about what she and Clinton may have done. Last week Cacheris would...

However, if it can be shown that the independent counsel leaked grand jury evidence to reporters before it became grand jury evidence, that would be a serious breach of the spirit, if not the letter of the law. "I only wanted to talk to them about the timing," Starr said in the interview. No reporter with any direct contact has yet fingered Starr himself as the source...
...built for a romantic America, a country with space and grace to spare. While the turbines of Modernism were fitting and turning homes, buildings and cities into parts of a huge functional machine, Wright held on to his belief in an architecture that could dawdle and daydream. His grand plan for cities seemed fantastical and cinematic--the basic building block was not a house but a farm, where each man could grow his own food on an acre block reserved for him since birth--and he was easy to dismiss as hopelessly Utopian. But fortunately for history, he often...
