Exactly a week after the sex scandal broke, Clinton achieved the highest approval ratings of his five-year presidency. That may have been a miracle, but it was no accident: Americans are less puritanical and more forgiving than the cartoon version suggests, and this President is never better than in his worst moments. Starr meanwhile was left trying to build a case around a single witness who was neither entirely cooperative nor totally credible, whose own lawyer admitted she was given to exaggeration, who a source said tried to bribe another witness, and who described herself as a lifelong liar...
...wants to call us," said Ginsburg. That's not likely, says the Washington Post -- Starr is furious because Lewinsky made a muddled proffer. Yes, she did have a sexual relationship with Clinton; no, she was not told to lie about it, but was "told to tell a certain version of events that did not actually happen," according to the Post's source.

Second, we need to address the issue on a house-by-house...
More concerned were the makers of the film version of Primary Colors, due in March and starring John Travolta as a thinly disguised Clinton. "Even though the character's a philanderer," says a person who has seen portions of the unfinished movie, "he's portrayed as charismatic and good-hearted. You could even say noble." It sounds like an engagingly complex characterization, the kind of thing we need more of in movies. But director Mike Nichols must be wondering whether two months from now, after an onslaught of news reports, press conferences and (Why not shoot for the moon?) impeachment...
