...both of whom were accused of hindering his office in separate investigations, and both of whose cases ended in mistrials earlier this year. Though the cases were different -- McDougal was accused of keeping mum about the Clintons? Arkansas business dealings and Steele was accused of lying about the Kathleen Willey case -- "both made Starr appear to be overzealous," says TIME Washington correspondent Viveca Novak. "McDougal made him look that way for being prosecuted over and over, and Steele for being pursued even though she was such a peripheral figure...

When the trial opens May 3, the cast of possible witnesses will recall the Year of Monica: Willey is likely to be Starr's star witness; Tripp may be called to undercut Willey; and Steele's lawyer Nancy Luque wants to compel an appearance by Newsweek reporter Michael Isikoff. In the meantime, the former $60,000-a-year communications consultant is hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt and fears losing her house in a few months.
