...been in the dumps ever since William Ginsburg departed. While Ginsburg was on the case, I'd figured that Kenneth Starr would eventually have to indict Monica Lewinsky, and I was looking forward to the criminal trial of the century, at least this year's criminal trial of the century, being fought out between two lawyers who had never before tried a criminal case...
...audience is rapacious in its demands: loosen our inhibitions; make us laugh. Onstage, life is stripped to bare essentials. The voice, the timing, the jokes are your only weapons. Every second of uneasy silence is a little death. I launch into my monologue: "You've been reading about Kenneth Starr and grand-jury leaks. Well, I can't get one.

...production is the brainchild of New York City theatrical designers Ken Billington and Kenneth Foy.

Mayer also noted that Tripp had not disclosed the arrest on her Pentagon security-clearance form, information that Mayer got from Pentagon public affairs chief Kenneth Bacon. Starr got to thinking about Ickes because of news accounts of a contentious six-hour deposition that Ickes underwent as part of a Judicial Watch lawsuit. In reply to one of Klayman's many questions, Ickes said he and Bacon had once briefly talked about Tripp over a Chinese...
