...face of it, nothing that Starr did last Friday seemed sufficient to change that dynamic. At Hyde's request he sent to the House some new evidence concerning whether Clinton lied when he told lawyers for Paula Jones that he did not attempt to kiss and fondle Kathleen Willey, a former White House volunteer. But Starr stopped short of making a new referral of wrongdoing, like those in his September report to the House. This time he simply invited the committee to look into Willey's story...

...Starr also announced that for the third time he obtained an indictment against former Associate Attorney General Webster Hubbell, this time on 15 felony counts of fraud and perjury. At least at the outset it looked like serial killing of the same victim. For years Starr has been putting the squeeze on Hubbell in the hope of getting him to give up something about either the President or Hillary Clinton, who was Hubbell's law partner at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, Ark., in the 1980s. Hubbell has already served 18 months in prison after pleading guilty four...

This time Starr claims that Hubbell sought to conceal from federal regulators the role he and Hillary Rodham Clinton--whom the indictment does not name, but alludes to as "Rose's 1985-86 billing partner"--played in the complicated real estate deal called Castle Grande.

If Hubbell knows something, especially about Hillary Clinton, Starr might...

...nearly every matter of consequence all year. And there's still the messy question of how to stop "the process." In an op-ed piece last week in the New York Times, Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter suggested that Congress simply set the case aside and leave it for Starr to pursue after Clinton leaves office two years from now. Sources tell TIME that Ralph Reed, the former head of the Christian Coalition, even sent a memo to House Speaker-in-waiting Bob Livingston and other Republican leaders that urged them, as part of a program for G.O.P. renewal, to drop...

...G.O.P. is also mindful that its Christian conservative base will not be happy. That's why House Republicans last week looked like Michael Jackson doing the moonwalk--imitating forward movement toward impeachment while in reality backing away. Though Hyde said right after the election that Starr would be his committee's sole major witness, committee aides were suggesting he may call others, including presidential adviser Bruce Lindsey...
