...lawyer William Ginsburg, in an open letter to Starr published last week in California Lawyer, wrote, "Congratulations, Mr. Starr!... You may have succeeded in unmasking a sexual relationship between two consenting adults"--which of course seems to suggest that his client perjured herself when she denied the affair under oath, but nonetheless appeals to a widespread public indifference to the whole thing. Indicting Lewinsky, warns former Reagan Justice official Stephen Saltzburg, leaves people wondering, "Is that the best you can do after spending all this time and money...
...ceremony for the handover of power, Habibie kept up his characteristic deference. After a sadly smiling Suharto apologized for his mistakes and announced his resignation, Habibie appeared to hesitate. His mentor gestured with his hand, like a father to a nervous child, and Habibie stepped forward to take the oath of office. Moments later he scuttled out of the room behind Suharto, leaving Wiranto to announce the quid pro quo.

Starr wants corroboration for testimony that his grand jury heard in February from Lewis Fox, a retired officer. According to U.S. News & World Report, Fox told the grand jury that in the fall of 1995, he admitted Lewinsky to the Oval Office. Forty minutes later, when he left...
...Clinton's phones, opening his mail, greeting his visitors, gauging his mood for nervous guests, correcting his spelling, telling him when he's behind schedule and bringing him all sorts of other news, good and bad. In coming days she'll face Starr's team for another grilling under oath about her boss, which could yield the most crucial testimony yet against the President. She alone can say whether he tried to enlist her in covering up an alleged affair with Lewinsky by helping find the intern a job and by retrieving several gifts Clinton purchased...
