...other option is attorney-client privilege, which would cover Clinton's conversations with his top lawyer, Bruce Lindsey -- but only if no one else was around. "It's very easy to pierce," McAllister says. John Podesta, for instance, who testified Thursday, was in on most of those meetings, not to mention other staffers. And though Podesta's a lawyer, his capacity as deputy chief of staff is political. Says McAllister: "If he can listen in, the law says Starr...
...White House itself. The President's defense team operates with a bunker mentality, scrawling messages in erasable marker to avoid the net of subpoenas. At 8:45 every morning, the "senior command"--a dozen lawyers, political aides and spokesmen--meet in the office of deputy chief of staff John Podesta to project where the Republicans are heading and how they can be headed off. They have managed this with the collaboration of Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle while still providing most of the documents Thompson has sought, as well as dozens of interviews.

Perhaps we are all blind to the limitations of those we love. Dona Leonor (Luisina Brando), a proud widow in a South American town in the '30s, certainly loves her daughter Charlotte (Alejandra Podesta). She is beguiled by Charlotte's grace, her easy imperiousness, her ease with languages, her virtuosity at the piano. And she refuses to accept what is evident to all: that Charlotte, now on the cusp of womanhood, is a dwarf. The townspeople pretend to ignore it. But one fellow, the aging stranger Ludovico D'Andrea (Marcello Mastroianni), sees Charlotte's disability as a sweet eccentricity, like...
