...Queer Protests Ineffective" by Patrick C. Crosetto (Letter, Oct. 19): Crosetto incorrectly characterizes both homosexuals and the gay rights movement. He states, in reference to proposed national "hate crime" legislation, that "no one group should be given special privileges." Granting homosexuals the right to hold a job is not a special privilege. Granting homosexuals the right to marry is not a special privilege. Granting homosexuals the right to visit their terminally ill partners in the hospital is not a special privilege. Granting homosexuals the right to a life free of discrimination is hardly a special privilege...

Starr refuses to say what these might be, but his Sept. 22 letter offers a clue. While Willey isn't mentioned, FBI interviews of her associates are, along with the warning that release of the materials "may compromise an ongoing investigation." What is intriguing about Willey's story is that if corroborated, it would parallel evidence of perjury and witness tampering in the Monica Lewinsky case now undergirding several articles of impeachment. Willey has testified that while working at the White House in 1993, she was groped by Clinton--a charge he denied to Paula Jones' lawyers...
