...them is a figure of power or authority. We are back with prefeminist vixens, villains and victims. Couldn't we at least get a Marcia Clark or a Leslie Abramson? The President's inner circle has mostly been an all-male preserve (just ask Dee Dee Myers). Ken Starr's deputies are swaggering cowboys, and the attorneys for the witnesses are all pinstripes and red meat. Marcia Lewis, Linda Tripp and Monica Lewinsky have become household names, but would you want your daughter to grow up to be any one of them? Even Hillary Clinton, fresh from her Heritage Tour...
...Hillary Clinton, there will be no "I am you" speech. However much she might be angry at her husband, she is far angrier at Starr for training 100 lawyers and FBI agents on her husband's sex life. Many people, myself included, would have liked her to hurl her husband's boxer shorts out on the Truman Balcony for getting us into all this. But just as many of us admire couples who slog through the bad times. Her favorability ratings, at about 60%, are her highest ever. Still, I wouldn't want my daughter to grow...
...Want to know more? You'll have to wait until Ken Starr's report to Congress goes public, and possibly even longer.

Will Lewinsky lawyer Plato Cacheris spill the beans to his tennis partner, Clinton attorney Bob Bennett? According to TIME Washington correspondent Michael Weisskopf, this is one set of secrets that won't spread along the legal grapevine. "In this case, there's not a lot of motivation for the defense to talk...
WASHINGTON: After nearly a week with the evidence, the FBI likely knows by now whether the stain on Monica's bedeviling blue dress is DNA or something considerably less organic, like Reddi-Whip -- and that means Ken Starr probably knows too. TIME Washington correspondent Elaine Shannon says this is one tidbit that Ken Starr's suspiciously leak-prone operation won't be disseminating. "A secret like this will be hard to keep, but this time he's going to try his best," she says. "He wants to wait until after Clinton testifies, and surprise...
...stain is indeed what Starr hopes it is, he will then have to match the President to the DNA. Of course he would hope that Clinton volunteers the necessary blood or saliva, but more likely he'd have to serve a subpoena of sorts at Bethesda Naval Hospital, where the leader of the free world gets his physicals. Past behavior hardly suggests that the presidential genetic blueprint will be offered up without a fight. Get ready for the next big legal battle: Bodily-fluid privilege...
