...WEBB HUBBELL Starr indicts jowly Clinton pal and his wife. Will this be the time when the last dog dies...
...other Starr witnesses looked a lot less promising. He could indict Susan McDougal for criminal contempt before his Arkansas grand jury packs up and goes home this week, but she has already shown that she prefers ankle chains to testifying against the President. And although Starr indicted Clinton pal Webb Hubbell last week (along with his wife Suzanna, his lawyer and his accountant), it was only for alleged tax crimes that are typically handled as civil matters, which even some of Starr's supporters felt was a stretch.

As for the other 149 hours, Burton said they were under wraps "to exclude anything...
INDEPENDENT COUNSEL: Know when to fold. That extraordinary driveway press encounter, in which you lapsed into Spanish and claimed Dragnet's Jack Webb as your hero, did not inspire confidence. Right after that, your ally Senator Arlen Specter hinted that you might want to spare Republicans a long national nightmare unless you have an open-and-shut case. But your crusade is all the chattering classes have left. Better that you be the first I.C. to prosecute a cover-up of a sin, not a crime, than that we return to covering IMF funding and NATO expansion...
