WASHINGTON: Both sides in the war between Ken Starr and the Clinton administration got a heap of ammunition Wednesday. First, a General Accounting Office audit of the prosecutor's Whitewater probe shows Starr spending $30 million in taxpayer dollars over four years.

Something fundamental was happening to communism as well. Reagan's 1982 prediction that it was headed for "the ash heap of history" was lost in a rising sea of angst, captured in a 1983 made-for-TV movie, The Day After, that dramatized the clinical horrors of a nuclear exchange. The U.S. and U.S.S.R. had broken off all arms-control negotiations and were arming rival sides in shooting wars in El Salvador and Nicaragua (whose anticommunist guerrillas would play a central role in the great Iran-contra scandal of the Reagan years...
