Courtesy of Starr, Jones has already won a large share of the credibility she wanted from a jury verdict. An associate describes her as "tired" and eager to avoid the kind of public savaging Lewinsky has suffered. Book deals should make her wealthy. If she were to get out of the case now, she might well be selling...

...appalled by the spectacle of the U.S. drowning in a sea of petty, malicious gossip. President Clinton has been a compassionate and effective leader. Return Starr to earning an honest living. Let Paula Jones gossip with her neighbors over the back fence. Encourage the Christian right to study the New Testament, not just the Old. WERNER C. STURM Scotch Plains...
