...same, a deal is not a foregone conclusion. Earlier Whitewater targets have complained that Starr and his prosecutors demand very specific testimony in exchange for immunity. Just as Susan McDougal and Webb Hubbell have done, Lewinsky and her lawyers may decide he wants more than they can reasonably--or truthfully--give him. "Starr's record has been to try to persuade and pressure witnesses to tell them what he needs," says former presidential aide Lanny Davis. "These two [lawyers] will not put up with that...

But the Lewinskys were exasperated by his TV appearances and his public feuding with Starr. Sources also said Ginsburg had angered Lewinsky's father by submitting hefty, unitemized bills. Ginsburg denies he objected to Smith and says his bills were not exorbitant. "I am terribly sorry the Lewinsky family in their emotional confusion feel the need to justify their daughter's problems by attacking...
