Slate's Scott Shuger ledes with USA Today's lede of an ex-Espy aide getting a harsh 27 months upriver, and what that could mean for Clinton. He notes that the Washington Post favors the upcoming Hyde-Gingrich peek at Ken Starr's investigation, and that the New York Times features, in its various editions, an indecisive study of education methods; a NYC school-uniforms policy; and sniping over the 1999 budget between Clinton and Congressional Republicans. The LA Times gets a shout out for its continued scrutiny of local and state prisons. And, finally, S's SS believes...
When will Americans realize that our individual privacy is under attack? As Monica Lewinsky's lawyers, William Ginsburg and Nathaniel Speights [SPECIAL REPORT, Feb. 16] said, "Starr seems to think it's O.K. to break the law to enforce the law." Our individual rights, along with the truth, do not seem to matter if they do not fit in with the power elite's agenda. Anyone can be a victim. Wake up, America! KAREN CAGLE Fort Collins, Colo...

And Clinton lawyer David Kendall wants Johnson to plug grand jury leaks he says are coming from Starr. During Watergate, John Sirica used the same judicial perch to prod along the investigation of President Nixon. Court watchers familiar with Johnson...
...true, undoubtedly, Clinton is in trouble. He will have committed perjury, and Ken Starr?s investigation -- long mired in arguments over immunity and executive privilege -- will have something to nail him on. But that's a big "if." Where Willey is concerned, questions persist: Why did Linda Tripp describe her as ?joyous? after her Oval Office encounter? Why did Willey continue to write Clinton and his personal assistant, Nancy Hernreich, in what sources describe as a ?consistently friendly and admiring manner? after he had supposedly assaulted her? Why does her Jones testimony contradict another sworn deposition, in a lawsuit against...
