...couldn't stop him, the White House hoped at least to slow Starr down a bit. Legal experts say that Kendall's action in court this week is no small matter; it will at the very least cause a fair bit of heartburn for the independent counsel. A senior Justice official went so far as to suggest to TIME that given the thick conflicts of interest in the case, a special prosecutor might have to be appointed to probe an independent counsel. As a lawyer on the case put it, "This isn't exactly charted territory." Ginsburg, meanwhile, announced plans...
...other people's privacy like that?" She was frightened. They were threatening her mother with prosecution. But if they had all this collateral evidence, then they didn't need my client at all. Linda Tripp illegally taped 20 hours of conversation with Monica and then brought those tapes to Starr, a former judge. Rather than prosecute her, he said, Thanks, I'll use them. They should have gotten court approval, but Starr seems to think it's O.K. to break the law to enforce...

She is not willing to change her story to meet the needs of the prosecutor. She told them the truth, and now she's angry. Last Friday FBI agents visited Monica's brother at his fraternity...
...gauntlet has been thrown by Starr and the President, two icons of our democratic government. Monica is just a pawn in their game. Kenneth Starr has spent $40 million in taxpayer funds for his investigation. The President is complaining about running out of money for legal fees and says he needs a $3 million fund. But Monica Lewinsky and her parents face the total resources of the U.S. Government--never fewer than five attorneys, and four or five FBI agents working against her. The American public should know what it's like to be caught between two agencies of government...
