...Clinton takes the Starr assault well beyond the facts of the case and fits it into a witting effort by radical conservatives to keep power--the "vast right-wing conspiracy," a formulation he clearly supports but is careful not to use.

He seems to have a dual purpose now: not just to discredit Starr but also to make the war against the ultraconservatives a significant part of his presidential legacy. He wants to be remembered for the Starr investigation...

...belongs behind the wall. It gets bizarre. How bizarre was it when I was a kid that I didn't want my daddy to know that I was giving part of my allowance to Billy Graham? How weird is that? I did a good job dealing with all this Starr stuff, I think, and going through all my work. By the way, the flip side of having lived parallel lives is that I was good at it. People have a hard time believing that I could go to work and concentrate on my job, but I'd been doing...
