Because Lewinsky's credibility is already so battered, Starr's investigators have been working to find outside corroboration for every possible aspect of her story. Since Lewinsky told Tripp that she'd bought certain gifts for Clinton, Starr issued a subpoena in March to a Washington bookstore; its sales records show that Lewinsky purchased a copy of Vox, Nicholson Baker's postmodern novel about yuppie phone sex. To Starr the move was routine evidence gathering, the authentication of a small detail in Lewinsky's story. But the subpoena caused an uproar among booksellers and free-speech groups. Author Baker charged...
...Kramerbooks & Afterwords, a Washington bookstore, is going to court to fight a subpoena issued by Starr for records of books Lewinsky purchased there -- which, the Washington Post says, include Nicholson Baker?s steamy classic, ?Vox.?

"I am not getting near that," he said...
...this: When Jordan began trying to help Lewinsky last Dec. 8, he knew she was important to Clinton but didn't know why. He wasn't told about the alleged affair. He learned of it on Dec. 19, when Lewinsky showed up at his office saying she had been subpoenaed by Jones. He asked her if she'd had an affair with Clinton, and she said, "Never." Lewinsky has contradicted that, telling Kenneth Starr's lawyers she did confess the relationship to Jordan.
