...Starr's long journey down the dirt road takes the reader past things most would rather not see, to places they would rather not go. The most shocking aspect of the report was the sheer quantity and raw quality of sexual detail. Starr's grand jurors received this evidence drop by drop, day by day; last week it came in a torrent over the wires in an instant, flooding the circuits of conscience and calculation and taste.

It costs $9 billion a year to educate learning-disabled kids...
WASHINGTON: When Ken Starr's 36 House guests arrived Wednesday, unannounced and two days early, their Republican hosts had an understandable reaction -- lock them in a room until all the beds get made. TIME political editor Priscilla Painton says that while the two 18-box sets of raw scandal data languish in that sealed room in the Ford office building, the report looks leakproof, and "the process by which House members decide what to do with it may be as important as what...
