...team lost no time in signaling that it was not about to back down because of a four-minute speech. On Tuesday morning the independent counsel was back in his office by 5:30 and issued another call for Lewinsky to testify. The plan is apparently designed to test the President's latest testimony for perjury, by contrasting her detailed story with the President's evasive account. Far from receding in any way, the confrontation between Starr and the President seemed to raise the stakes and send both men back to their corners more ornery than ever...
That uncertainty could be changing. In the past few years, pharmaceutical companies have developed highly sensitive urine tests for chlamydia that work equally well for boys and girls.

...Sudan has asked the United Nations to step in and resolve the question of what was being produced at the Khartoum factory hit by U.S. missiles last week. The Security Council will informally discuss the complaint on Monday and will decide later this week whether to appoint experts to test the remains of the wrecked site...
