Starr used the time to press hard on other fronts. The week of July 20 saw more action at the federal courthouse than at a beach on a hot day. He held sessions on Wednesday, not just Tuesday and Thursday, as Oval Office secretary Betty Currie wrapped up her testimony. The next day Clinton confidant Harold Ickes reappeared, along with the head of the President's Secret Service detail and two uniformed officers.

But that was before Monica pulled off a bit of stagecraft that surprised even some who thought they knew everything she had.

Copper wires, pioneered by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876, were still state of the art. And Seidenberg was the guy you might have spotted crawling into manholes in New York City and cheerfully splicing phone lines together deep underground--peeling back the rubber coating on the finger-thick wires, laying the cable on the splicer and then gently pressing...
