WASHINGTON: This is how bad it is for Bill Clinton right now: Even when he does look good in court, he can't use it to his advantage. Newly-released court documents show that the president's attorneys are beating back Ken Starr in Judge Norma Holloway Johnson's investigation into alleged grand jury leaks. But though legal victories have been few and far between for the White House lately, don't expect its spokesmen -- or Janet Reno, Starr's nominal boss -- to do any crowing about this...
Aware that the top witness was about to spill her guts, Kendall and Seligman turned up at the federal courthouse, asking for an extension on the Starr subpoena. Protective of the 23 citizens who have already spent a half-year in a closed, dark room, Judge Norma Holloway Johnson refused the lawyers' request, saying if Clinton can take vacation, he can talk to the grand jury.

The President's lawyer, who had lodged the almost forgotten complaint about leaks last February, had obviously hit pay dirt with Johnson. His motion...
...nation of political journalists busy since February. "Don't forget that in principle, everything should be off the record," says Branegan. "We shouldn't even know Monica Lewinsky's name." And since on Tuesday it was Starr who was seeking to overturn a sealed ruling by Judge Norma Holloway Johnson, it would seem that the ruling points the finger directly at Starr. On that subject, of course, Starr's spokesmen have been noticeably silent...
