WARNING! A moment from the Starr report: "When I was hiding out in your office...I noticed you had the new Sarah McLachlan CD [Surfacing]," wrote Monica Lewinsky to the President.

His waywardness so concerned minority leader Richard Gephardt that he handpicked Washington lawyer Abbe Lowell to be the Democrats' lead counsel on the Judiciary Committee, with the intent to wield influence over the proceedings through Lowell...
