...Burton (R-Ind.), chair of the House committee probing Clinton campaign finance misdeeds, got more than he bargained for after leaking an hour of "selected extracts" Friday from wiretapped recordings of Webster Hubbell speaking to wife Suzy from his prison cell back in 1996. Such quotes from the Clinton pal as "I will not raise those allegations that might open it up to Hillary" whet conservative appetites and piqued the media's interest. As for the other 149 hours, Burton said they were under wraps "to exclude anything that might touch on personal or private affairs." Now it appears those...
...course. If the concern is blocks of friends voting for a pal's stellar performance rather than that of a stranger who never had the chance to be evaluated, Dartboard has the solution: make the competition even more personal. Categories can be narrow enough that few students would vote for any particular student. All categories will be open to innumerable winners, so that no qualified and praise-starved student will be ignored. Here are some suggestions for new categories...
...agents are alleged to have driven Hale to the fishing cabin where he reportedly met with Scaife's agents. Kendall also points out Starr's connection to Scaife, a major underwriter of the post awaiting Starr at Pepperdine University, and the fact that Starr's good pal TED OLSON is Hale's lawyer and a board member of the American Spectator foundation through which the Hale payments allegedly flowed.

The grand jury has not brought an indictment in two years, and sources familiar with the investigation say just one is in the works. Starr is said to be making another run at Clinton's pal Webster Hubbell, this time on tax charges. The problem is, Hubbell didn't provide any useful testimony in 1994, when Starr convicted him of bilking clients and partners at the Rose law firm. He isn't any more likely to do so now. And Hubbell isn't the only...
Even as one scandal dies for Bill Clinton, another comes back to life. Representative DAN BURTON's campaign-finance team is set in coming days to depose presidential pal WEBSTER HUBBELL on a sensitive subject. Burton's gumshoes have traced an additional $200,000 that went to Hubbell in 1994, bringing to $700,000 the total of gifts and fees raised by Clinton friends from sympathetic companies. Independent counsel Kenneth Starr is trying to determine if any of it was intended to buy Hubbell's silence about Clinton dealings at a time when Hubbell was being investigated. In the deposition...
