...along this story has been less about crime than punishment. From the nails in Kathleen Willey's tires to the jokes about Linda Tripp's chins to the around-the-clock evisceration of Monica Lewinsky, the story has nourished a culture of cruelty that sacrifices empathy for entertainment. If Clinton has been more mercilessly ridiculed than past Presidents, we can excuse it as partly a response to his own decisions--beginning with his decision to run for office.

Starr has her testimony, the tapes and something else, the kind of gift only a faithful government secretary like Linda Tripp could give: a stenographer's notebook filled with 80 to 100 pages of tight shorthand that chronicles the times, dates, places and circumstances of Lewinsky's alleged liaison with the President, a sort of Guide Bleu to the whole story.

...Some (newly) famous faces have come and gone -- a Tripp here, a Lewinsky there -- and surely it's been exciting to be in the know while the rest of the curious world subsists on Ken Starr's surreptitous leavings. (Even if they can never, ever talk about it.) But the guest list has never been classier than on Monday when the President himself looms before them on closed-circuit TV. And the 23 will put down their crosswords and coffee cups, and settle...
