...Will Monica Lewinsky get big bucks for her story? Many publishing-industry insiders say no. Too many big-ticket books, such as Dick Morris's $2.5 million memoir, have bombed, and Lewinsky may spill most of her beans in public. On the high side, publisher Judith Regan estimates that Monica's story is worth "maybe as much as a million," while Robert Gottlieb of the William Morris Agency puts the number in the low six figures. Larry Kirshbaum of Time Warner Trade Publishing is closefisted, saying, "I think we're all bimboed out." The supermarket tabloids are similarly split...
While former White House intern Monica Lewinsky makes headlines for her immunity deal with investigator Kenneth Starr, President Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton are planning to be guests at Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw's estate in the Hamptons this weekend.

Although no details leaked out, the timing was important -- just when the President's lawyers were hammering out the details of how and when their boss would appear before the grand jury, along comes Monica. "That's good scare tactics," says TIME Washington correspondent Jef McAllister. "Starr will want to put Monica on the stand first, to have as many specifics as possible to catch the President...
