Starr was facing more accusations last week of being too closely involved with the Paula Jones legal team. Robert Bennett, Clinton's attorney in the Jones suit, had filed a subpoena requesting Kirkland & Ellis, the law firm in which Starr still serves as a private attorney, to turn over any materials related to work it may have done on behalf of Jones. Though the firm has never formally represented Jones or any other party to the case, Bennett wants to know, among other things, who at Kirkland & Ellis faxed the Chicago Tribune a copy of an affidavit in the Jones...
...improper connection to the Jones case took an added twist late last week. In a story first reported Saturday by the Washington Post, and confirmed by TIME, Linda Tripp secretly met with one of Jones' lawyers on Jan. 16, the night before Clinton gave his deposition in the Paula Jones case, to tell them about Lewinsky's alleged affair with the President. That briefing gave members of the Jones legal team more ammunition for detailed questions they asked Clinton the next day, including whether he had ever given her gifts or been alone with her. But it also raised questions...
...didn't Nixon burn the tapes?"

It was, after all, the search for "other women" who could support Jones' story that brought Monica to light in the first place. And yet, even as the Lewinsky saga has strengthened Jones' public posture, it has not helped her prospects in court. Sources tell TIME that the Jones team has put out quiet feelers to see whether Clinton might want to talk again...
...appalled by the spectacle of the U.S. drowning in a sea of petty, malicious gossip. President Clinton has been a compassionate and effective leader. Return Starr to earning an honest living. Let Paula Jones gossip with her neighbors over the back fence. Encourage the Christian right to study the New Testament, not just the Old. WERNER C. STURM Scotch Plains...
...Starr would want Lewis' testimony. Monica moved in with her mother after she got her White House job. She sought her mother's help once she was called by Paula Jones' lawyers. She could help prosecutors more than even Linda Tripp with her surreptitious tapes. When Monica found herself detained by Starr's deputies, she did what every parent wants a child to do: she called home. Lewis could hardly have known that before she jumped on the train from New York she should have read her child her Miranda rights...
