...largely circumstantial case, Starr's ace is Lewinsky, whose lawyers have made clear from the start that they weren't going to let her go to jail, and whose florid romantic aspirations left a trail behind her like rose petals: e-mails and phone calls, beeper pages and presents. And affidavits. Though Lewinsky swore in early January that she had no sexual relationship with the President, a later proffer to Starr reportedly admitted to just that, was vague on the question of obstruction and said nothing at all about the mysterious "talking points" she gave her friend Linda Tripp...

Dan Burton is so convinced Vince Foster was murdered that he brought a pistol into the backyard of his Indiana home and reenacted the crime -- reportedly with a pumpkin standing in for Foster's head. Dan Burton is so afraid of catching AIDS that he brings his own scissors to the House barbershop and refuses to eat soup at public restaurants.
