...White House insiders go, the whole Jimmy Swaggart confession scenario was something of a national parlor game, not a live option. "The best thing to expect right now is our standard operating procedure," said an adviser. "He goes in, testifies and issues a brief one-sentence statement. That's the way we've done it in the past, and unfortunately, we've got a lot of experience in this." But there may be nothing standard about this operation anymore; Clinton's lawyers will have to be at least as hard on him as Starr will be, make him address every...

Joseph Ralston -- raised questions of a double standard. But to avoid a bruising battle, Cohen is more likely to seek a compromise: "In the end, the Defense Secretary will probably set a minimum standard that functions as a floor rather than as a ceiling," says Thompson. "In that scenario the Marines would still have the leeway to apply a higher standard." After all, they just wouldn't be Marines if they...
