...naive, but I think most young people are a little more concerned about those issues Clinton skimmed over in his speech--immigration and education, just to name two--than who did what to whom in the Oval Office. We grew up watching more scandalous things than the Kenneth Starr report on TV, and it neither shocks nor titillates...
...long as McCollum and Barr and Starr are working so feverishly against the President, Clinton's supporters will continue to see their tactics as more of a threat to the Republic than the President. Quiet the extremists, move to censure, and his support will evaporate. And unlike the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, now dismissed by history as a partisan act, Clinton's trial would end in his near universal condemnation, a judgment made by all of us, not one faction of us, that will stand the test of time...

Lawyers for Steele...
However, she may not be one for Starr himself. Sources tell TIME he has had concerns about the veracity of some of her statements. He met with Willey after he sent his impeachment referral to Capitol Hill but apparently did not feel he could build a strong enough case to send a follow-up referral based on her allegations...
