...with it instant charges that Starr was too partisan for the job. He was chosen to replace a more moderate Republican, Robert Fiske, following an unusual luncheon attended by Judge David Sentelle, the head of the three-judge panel that named Starr, and conservative Republican Senators Jesse Helms and Lauch Faircloth, one of Fiske's loudest critics. Sentelle and Helms have denied discussing Starr's appointment. By that time Starr had nearly entered the Virginia Republican Senate primary that Oliver North eventually won, and had considered writing a Supreme Court brief supporting Paula Jones' argument that her case should...
...high a price." Meanwhile, Barry--whose popularity is so low that nearly 80% of residents say it's time for him to go--is using the setback to his advantage. "Democracy has been raped," he asserts, decrying the white Republicans in Congress--particularly North Carolina Senator Lauch Faircloth--who spearheaded the takeover.

(which took over for the now defunct Resolution Trust Corp.) concluded that neither Hillary Clinton nor the Rose Law Firm should be sued for any losses incurred by the failed S&L Madison Guaranty...
...next five months, Kennedy and Kassebaum tracked down a number of conservative suspects, among them Oklahoma's Don Nickles, Arizona's John Kyl, North Carolina's Jesse Helms and Lauch Faircloth, and majority whip Trent Lott. But each potential culprit denied he was the one standing in the way of the bill--at that moment, at least. The hold, it seems, was rolling from requester to anonymous requester. Behind it all, Kennedy and Kassebaum believed, was the Health Insurance Association of America, which has argued that the bill will be far more expensive than advertised. The association also fears that...
