...memory once she began cooperating. Last week, as people waited to learn the results of the dress tests, Clinton's antagonists were reminding anyone who would listen that Starr was building his case in triplicate. "Even if the dress turns out to be nothing," says a private lawyer involved in the case, "there is so much other stuff--the messages, the gifts, the logs, the Secret Service stuff.
