...worked for the Democratic National Committee last year. In a brief interview, Lenzner denied that he was probing Starr, but before TIME could ask if he was investigating Starr's lieutenants he said, "I'm not going to answer any more questions," and hung up. At the White House, spokesman Mike McCurry denied that anyone in the Administration or on the President's legal team had hired private investigators to check up on Starr's prosecutors...
...with a young Russian named Mikhail S. Gorbachev. Apparently the two kept in touch, and Gorbachev was intrigued with what his former roommate was doing to reform communism in Prague. Gorbachev later said that Dubcek's reforms served as the main ideological pillars for his perestroika. When Gorbachev's spokesman Gennady Gerasimov was asked at a press conference in 1989 what the difference between the Prague Spring and perestroika were, his reply was "20 years...
...there?s more, according to AP: Lenzner?s firm got a $100,000 no-bid contract from the White House shortly after his first visit in 1994, and Lenzner has alleged connections to Clinton confidant Mickey Kantor.

Glaxo's and SmithKline's stock price both soared with the first announcement; on Tuesday, the stocks had plunged a combined 14 points by midday...
...National Security Advisor Sandy Berger had just three words: ?Wait and see.? But Annan, a wily diplomat who was Washington?s pick for the top job, is unlikely to disappoint. He knows a deal that ties UNSCOM?s hands is not worth coming back to New York with. His spokesman Fred Eckhard indicated that one of the major hurdles in previous Iraqi offers -- time limits on weapons inspections -- was not present in this deal. So how did Annan do it? The so-called ?white glove? solution, diplomats accompanying inspectors, is one possibility, but that?s just window dressing. The secretary...
