...messed up in his personal life, his responsibility as the Commander in Chief precluded the soul-baring mea culpa Myers unrealistically hoped he would deliver. No President should ever again be humiliated by an official sexual interrogation by a political opponent. Clinton was right to show his anger that Starr's dangerous "probe" is interfering with his marriage and his Executive duties. Myers accepts the premise that the President's private life is our business. That's where she lost me. ROSES PRICHARD Los Angeles...

Enough with the Ken Starr bashing! Starr was given a difficult and thankless job: he had to uncover the misdeeds of an elusive foe. Considering the power of the President, it is doubtful that a less determined person would have been able to force Slick Willie to confess. Obviously the process has been disruptive and costly, but what would Americans have had Starr do? If we don't want to know when politicians break the law or commit immoral acts, then we'd better get rid of the special-prosecutor law. Otherwise, let's not shoot the messenger just because...
