...timing was vital, since the story this week will be guided by Clinton's secretary Betty Currie, who alone is portrayed by the White House as too honorable to shade the truth, whose office has a peephole into the Oval Office, who is one of three White House staff members privy to the President's phone logs, and who has emerged as the silent and sturdy pivot for three big players: Clinton, Vernon Jordan and Lewinsky. Currie, whose stricken face as she left the grand jury became a national freeze-frame a month ago, is reportedly calmer now, not terrified...
...White House were the presumed culprits. They are the only players on the field adroit enough to pull off a p.r. play of this complexity--and the ones with the most to gain. The new details helped further numb the public to talk of sex in the Oval Office, kept Starr on the defensive with hints that he was the leaker and laid out the script for other witnesses to follow. This week, when Jones' lawyers argue why their case should go forward, they are sure to trot out the names of all the women who can point...
Should she decide to cooperate with Starr, Lewinsky may still be an unwitting ally of Clinton's. Even if Monica testified to a torrid Oval Office affair, says a White House insider, her credibility is now so ragged that it would be subject to reasonable doubt.

"Well, Mr. President, you're tough," said Dan Rostenkowski of Illinois, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. "You beat us." Indeed he had, and with surprising ease. In the final legislative battle over Ronald Reagan's economic program, 48 House Democrats deserted their party to help the President win a 238-to-195 victory on a vote for a bill that provides the largest tax cut in U.S. history. "We have made a new beginning," exulted the President...
...years I wanted to make the cover of TIME in the worst way. And I did. On April 4, 1994, there I was, in mug-shot gray, looking worried over President Clinton's shoulder in the Oval Office, underneath an accusing headline: DEEP WATER: HOW THE PRESIDENT'S MEN TRIED TO HINDER THE WHITEWATER INVESTIGATION. The story wasn't much prettier than the picture. Two years later, nothing remains of the criminal charges leveled against me by anonymous sources in TIME except, of course, my yet-to-be paid legal bills... GEORGE R. STEPHANOPOULOS Senior Adviser to the President...
