...Monica on the Spot When she gets on the stand next week, Starr will want Monica to remember two words: Susan McDougal...
When an unwilling Monica Lewinsky sits before the grand jury next week, Ken Starr wants her to consider Whitewater con Susan McDougal -- still languishing in jail because she refused to testify -- and tell him everything. William Ginsburg will fight that threat by trying to get the deal he says Starr reneged on: full immunity for Lewinsky, not just for her courtroom testimony. "Ginsburg wanted the subpoena quashed," says TIME Washington correspondent Jay Branegan. "But that probably won't happen. So when Monica sits down Thursday and they ask the first question, she'll take the Fifth." Both sides would then...
...plan to have Madison Guaranty lend another man $825,000 as part of a questionable real estate scheme. Starr has also won convictions of Webb Hubbell, the former associate attorney general, for bilking his own law firm and clients, and of the Clintons' former Whitewater partners Jim and Susan McDougal. His last indictments, brought 18 months ago, were against Herby Branscum Jr. and Robert Hill, two officers of the Perry County Bank in Perryville, Ark.

...Starr's investigation has slowed. Before Monica Lewinsky came along, his best hope at snagging the Clintons was still the claim by David Hale, a former Arkansas municipal judge, that Clinton had put improper pressure on him to okay a loan to Madison Guaranty, a charge Clinton denies. Jim McDougal also denied it before his May 1996 conviction on fraud and conspiracy charges. After that, as part of a deal for a lighter sentence, he changed his story. But that change makes McDougal an admitted perjurer--not the most effective witness against the President in any future trial. McDougal...
...dominated everyone's ten o'clock shows. Unlike CNN, which REALLY likes weather news, CNBC's Brian Williams skipped away after the obligatory eight minutes and rated Kenneth Starr by comparing his record to that of other special prosecutors throughout history. He ran a respectable second, but as Susan McDougal pointed out in her "Dateline" interview (rerun in full Wednesday as a filler for Brian), Starr's success is strictly Triple-A and hasn't made it out of Little Rock. CNN ran a sympathetic piece on all the Clinton little fish who've squandered their meager salaries on legal...
