Kenneth Starr, who, in his interviews with TIME, compares himself to the fabled tortoise, turned out to be more enduring in his own relentless quest to frame the debate as a public, legal and constitutional issue. I visited with him earlier this month in the windowless beige conference room where every weekday this year he marshaled his troops in pursuit of Bill Clinton. He insisted that he had been falsely caricatured and thus agreed to spend hours last week with Michael Weisskopf and Eric Pooley as well as to open his office to photographer Karin Cooper...
...President Clinton signed a top-secret order, approved by the congressional intelligence committees, that authorized the CIA to begin covert operations to break up bin Laden's terror network. The agency's counterterrorism center--200 operatives housed in a windowless warren of cubicles in the CIA's Langley, Va., headquarters--had set up a special bin Laden task force.

Flanked by a semi-circle of glass cases displaying guns of all sizes and shapes and a few grenades, holsters, and handcuffs, "Kevin the Gun Guy" sits calmly on a stool attending to customers as they come and go. He has the smugness of some-one who always carries a firearm. Sure enough, when asked if he ever feels concerned for his safety...
...private office... Ms. Lewinsky testified: "We talked briefly and sort of acknowledged that there had been a chemistry that was there before and that we were both attracted to each other and then he asked me if he could kiss me." Ms. Lewinsky said yes. In the windowless hallway adjacent to the study, they kissed. Before returning to her desk, Ms. Lewinsky wrote down her name and telephone number for the President...
