...Starr, the plea bargain allows him to leave the public stage with a certain level of vindication after having repeatedly pursued Hubbell on Clinton-related matters. It also sweetens somewhat the bitter taste of recent defeats -- the acquittal and mistrial of Susan McDougal and the mistrial of Juliet Hiatt Steele. Of course, it is unlikely to change the verdict of Starr's critics, who believe he needlessly helped drag the country through months of impeachment politics. Nor is it likely to help revive the statute that gave him his job: With no enthusiasts for either the law or the spectacle...
Kenneth Starr has decided to quit prosecuting while he?s not ahead. Late Tuesday, the Independent Counsel decided not to seek a retrial of Susan McDougal and Julie Hiatt Steele, both of whom were accused of hindering his office in separate investigations, and both of whose cases ended in mistrials earlier this year.

Starr's methods, however, will be debated again next month in the trial of Julie Hiatt Steele of Virginia, whom he has accused of obstructing justice and making false statements. At one level, it shapes up as a petty personal contest between Steele and Kathleen Willey, the woman who said Clinton groped her in November 1993. Steele, who was Willey's friend, contradicts Willey's claim that she told Steele about the incident...
