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. A petulant Jo Marsh, Blumenthal's attorney, complained that Starr's people had dragged them down to the courthouse, only to keep them cooling their heels while they decided when her client would testify...
Starr was facing more accusations last week of being too closely involved with the Paula Jones legal team. Robert Bennett, Clinton's attorney in the Jones suit, had filed a subpoena requesting Kirkland & Ellis, the law firm in which Starr still serves as a private attorney, to turn over any materials related to work it may have done on behalf of Jones.

William Ginsburg will fight that threat by trying to get the deal he says Starr reneged on: full immunity for Lewinsky, not just for her courtroom testimony. "Ginsburg wanted the subpoena quashed," says TIME Washington correspondent Jay Branegan. "But that probably won't happen. So when Monica sits down Thursday and they ask the first question, she'll take the Fifth."

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...
Since anyone who gets into scandal management can expect a Ken Starr subpoena, Gore has never taken part in sessions "on Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate or any other gate," says a Gore adviser. Instead Gore and aides last week worked to line up congressional support for Clinton. On Monday he met with 33 members of the New Democrat Coalition, a moderate House group. When Indiana Representative Tim Roemer introduced Gore, he slipped and called him "Mr. President." The room erupted with laughter, but Gore was visibly uncomfortable. He wants that title...
