...Starr report: "correctly" -- as in "Ms. Lewinsky correctly surmised that the President was meeting with Ms. Mondale." Was Starr trying to make the proverbial, subtle-as-a-brick inference of a Clinton-Mondale affair? That's certainly the implication of footnote 739 -- Lewinsky's jealous comment to Tripp -- which isn't even referenced in the text.

Tripp's troubles -- a Radio Shack store now says it warned her that wiretapping was illegal -- may help to discredit one of Ken Starr's central witnesses. Lindsey, of course, is hardly likely to be loose-lipped. And yet their combined presence may serve to bring the scandal back to the forefront...
