...doing many more performances like this one soon. It's the closing act of the William Ginsburg phase of her case. Ginsburg, who is now her former attorney, loved the camera even more than Lewinsky does. For months he was easier to find on TV than the weather report, all the while alienating Kenneth Starr by his public denunciations of the independent counsel's tactics. Given that his client was trying to deny a sexual involvement with the President, he also had an unhelpful way of describing her. Not long after he told TIME that he had kissed the infant...
...circumstantial evidence. If Lewinsky tells his grand jury that she and the President did indeed have sex--or better still, that he attempted to get her to lie about it in her sworn statement to the lawyers for Paula Jones--it would be the automatic centerpiece of Starr's report to Congress, his best evidence not only of perjury but also of Clinton's obstructing justice. She could also make life very difficult for Vernon Jordan, whose job-hunting assistance for Lewinsky could be made to look like an attempt by him--and perhaps by Clinton--to buy her silence...

David Skaggs (D-Colo.) of the House Intelligence Committee -- himself a Vietnam vet -- said he found the story "absolutely stunning and appalling if it is substantiated." Skaggs launched his own inquiry to attempt just that...
Women, especially, listen to Winfrey because they feel as if she's a friend. Although Phil Donahue pioneered the format she uses (mike-holding host moves among an audience whose members question guests), his show was mostly what I call "report-talk," which often typifies men's conversation. The overt focus is on information. Winfrey transformed the format into what I call "rapport-talk," the back-and-forth conversation that is the basis of female friendship, with its emphasis on self-revealing intimacies. She turned the focus from experts to ordinary people talking about personal issues. Girls' and women...
