WASHINGTON: Is Ken Starr out of control? That's the contention of White House aide Sidney Blumenthal, who was called before the special prosecutor's 23-member grand jury Tuesday -- but fought against appearing right down to the last minute. "This subpoena is an assault on the First Amendment," Blumenthal, a former journalist, said Monday night. "I'm incensed, outraged." Not to mention peeved.

So when Monica sits down Thursday and they ask the first question, she'll take the Fifth." Both sides would then retreat to the judge's chamber, where Starr will ask for "use immunity" -- immunity for anything Lewinsky...
WASHINGTON: Kenneth Starr brought Monica Lewinsky's mother before his grand jury for a second day's testimony today, determined to paint the former White House intern into an evidentiary corner. Marcia Lewis yesterday spent three hours testifying before Starr's investigation, having failed to overturn a subpoena against...
