...reportedly refused to answer questions about Clinton and Lewinsky. 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 his post outside the door, she was still there. He was certain she and Clinton were alone because the other entrances to the Oval Office were locked...
...Packed with references to Nixon, Starr's speech was pointedly delivered on the 24th anniversary of the day that president refused to let the courts hear his Oval Office tapes -- and to the same audience, the San Antonio Bar Association, that Jaworski addressed in that year. So the independent counsel is trying to spin Intern-gate into Watergate, and himself into Jaworski. Spinning the evidence might be a taller order: Whatever else the Tripp tapes contain, they're no smoking...
...wife and two others on tax fraud charges. The allegations were that Hubbell cheated the federal government out of more than $800,000 in back taxes. But the subtext is that Starr is still looking to flip Hubbell as a way to get his investigation closer to the Oval Office.

She sits right outside the Oval Office, answering 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...
...questionable, though, whether Dok be appreciated without some knowledge of the philosophy that went into making it. It's certainly more listenable than Oval's previous albums, which have been physically painful to the ears. The distinctive clicking of the skipping CDs provides a percussive element, and various other layers of sound are layered above this to create reasonably cohesive compositions. The end result, though, isn't terribly exciting on first listen. Repeated listenings (Dok must be actively listened to) yield more; Popp's subtlety emerges. If you're willing to put the time into it, Dok is an interesting...
