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. Though the firm has never formally represented Jones or any other party to the case, Bennett wants to know, among other things, who at Kirkland & Ellis faxed the Chicago Tribune a copy of an affidavit in the Jones...
...stuff," says a cautiously confident aide to the President. "Everyone thinks they're partisan." The prospect of a conviction in the Senate, where the trial stage of any impeachment would be held, is also slim. It would require a two-thirds majority to convict a sitting President, which in turn would require 12 Democrats to join all the Senate Republicans in a vote against Clinton...
...with an estimated 30 million to 40 million potential customers who have few other places to turn for cash, sub-prime lenders have been Wall Street darlings.

Because poultry is a vital part of Hong Kong's diet, agricultural authorities got concerned and quickly consulted Kennedy Shortridge, a microbiologist at the University of Hong Kong. He in turn contacted his friend and fellow flu specialist Robert Webster of St. Jude. For decades both men had studied influenza viruses in chickens and other birds in the belief that these viruses were more than just an agricultural problem and might hold the key to the origins of human influenza, possibly even...
That same day--such is the cunning magic that sometimes hides out in the Olympics--America had its turn. Picabo Street, the supercharged performance artist from the Idaho hamlet of Triumph, streaked through the super-G course in 1:18:02. A few months ago, Street too was a spectator, having torn a ligament in her knee; in only her fourth race back, 11 days before, she had knocked herself out while whizzing through a course at 75 m.p.h. Now, like Satoya, she stood at the bottom of the course and, unlike Satoya, delivered an irrepressible commentary...
