...soon have no choice but to confess all--and insiders to suspect essentially the opposite: that he would admit not a single thing, deny any romance, dismiss Lewinsky as a fantasizing stalker and even consider refusing to turn over a blood sample that could match his DNA to the stain on the dress. Fight it out, all the way, without looking back...

...stain is indeed what Starr hopes it is, he will then have to match the President to the DNA. Of course he would hope that Clinton volunteers the necessary blood or saliva, but more likely he'd have to serve a subpoena of sorts at Bethesda Naval Hospital, where the leader of the free world gets his physicals.
