...before Starr and Ginsburg can get even that far, they must either make some peace or declare war. This is why they spent hours in front of a judge on Thursday trying to resolve the fate of an earlier immunity deal--and got nowhere. Ginsburg wants a full immunity blanket to protect his client from prosecution. Starr is playing very tough: far from being squeamish about prosecuting a 24-year-old, he may have to go to a criminal trial to get her to come clean...
...President, defense lawyers last week began to ask aloud whether Starr could, in his dreams, build anything better than a circumstantial case against him. The timing of the meetings and the headhunting and the subpoenas may look fishy, but if all parties deny any wicked intent, Starr can't do much with what's left. As one lawyer put it: "The President can say, 'I learned she was going to be a witness. I then asked Vernon to get her a job. But my purpose was not to affect her testimony.'

Susan Stanton slaps her husband when she hears evidence of his infidelity, yanks her hand from his after feigning forgiveness during a TV interview, yet leads the rapid-response troops--just as Hillary directs the counterattack against Ken Starr. Meanwhile, the Clinton-hating American Spectator claims Hillary "looked shaken" when she heard Clinton had given Lewinsky Whitman's Leaves of Grass and quotes her saying, "He gave me the same book after our second date." What's fact and what's fiction? Are we reverberating...
...hold the office of President in the highest regard, but not the man [SPECIAL REPORT, Feb. 16]. President Clinton and his cohort need to come clean and stop blaming everyone else for their troubles. I commend independent counsel Kenneth Starr for his perseverance in the face of denial. Starr didn't bring the thunder down from the heavens onto the Clintons; they did it themselves. I am ashamed that Clinton is still in office. TARYN SANFORD Sheffield...
