...contact with three companies. And Lewinsky has indicated to prosecutors that she may be willing to testify that she did tell Jordan that her relationship with Clinton was sexual. Jordan needed to create some wiggle room--even if doing so meant there would be less for Clinton. So he leaked word that he had discussed the relationship with Clinton and that the President had personally assured him it was not sexual. The leak was meant to preserve what might be called Jordan's plausible probity--the idea that he might have been an unwitting agent of the President...
There's a more subtle game being played out here -- an endgame, in fact, between Starr and the White House. Someone did leak information to the press about prosecutors Bruce Udolf and Mike Emmick's previous records of riding roughshod over defendants' rights. Blumenthal, a master of White House spin, is a plausible suspect. But by bringing his accusation out into the open, Starr risks losing even more public sympathy and congressional support...
...October, the virus had changed. Before, it attacked the respiratory and intestinal tracts of chickens; now, suddenly, it assaulted every tissue in the chickens, including the brain. It caused all their blood vessels to leak and killed them within days, turning the birds, as one researcher put it, into "bloody Jell-O."

What do we get in exchange besides your goodwill? I asked. They said they'd decide that later...
...years of the great Watergate crisis, leaks began as drips and ended as torrents. Nearly everyone involved leaked. The FBI, angry at the way the White House was trying to control its investigations, leaked results of its probes. Senate and House investigators leaked. White House counsel John Dean, eager to save his skin in the cover-up, leaked his coming testimony, often after elaborate bargaining about the kind of treatment and display he could expect from the news organizations to which he intended to leak. The White House leaked damaging information about people like Dean, hoping to destroy the credibility...
