...catch that, Mr. Clinton? With a captive audience watching on CNN, Ken Starr took a timely historical tour of Watergate and other court battles that presidents have lost. On the surface, it was a snoozer: Executive Privilege 101. But pick apart the professorial text, and you get Starr's most savage attack on the President to date.
