...good measure of how the country feels about the Sex Scandal of the Century that Monica Lewinsky can slip in and out of Washington almost unnoticed these days. Ever since she dumped her self-promoting lawyer, who seemed to escort her around town in part to stay in the pictures, she has traveled incognito, and even spent the occasional quiet weekend in New York City. She still puts her telephone through daily workouts, calling her attorneys and advisers around the clock, and she's taken up knitting to distract herself from the endless talk shows about her case. Last week...
...touring, gazing at the fabulous terra-cotta army of Xian, the Great Wall, the neon-lit Shanghai Bund at night, the ethereal karst mountains of Guilin and the towering tangle of Hong Kong's skyscrapers. It was a lot more fun than hanging around Washington not answering questions about Monica Lewinsky.

...loquacious California medical-malpractice lawyer William Ginsburg and hired a pair of Washington sharpies, Plato Cacheris and Jake Stein, many observers assumed it meant she was getting ready to cooperate. If Lewinsky were to testify, Tripp would then be relegated to a mere corroborating witness, appearing only after Monica had spilled to the grand jury. But Starr's decision to bring Tripp to the stand before Lewinsky signals a standoff, at least for now, in the negotiations between the Starr and Lewinsky camps. The talks have snagged, sources tell TIME, over the prosecutors' well-known demand to interview Lewinsky before...
