Not long after he told TIME that he had kissed the infant Lewinsky's inner thighs--"those little polkehs!"--he was explaining that he had agreed to the Vanity Fair shoot because Starr had imprisoned "her libido." It was a remark that on top of other faux pas so infuriated Lewinsky's father Bernard, an old friend, that for a while he stopped talking to Ginsburg, sources tell TIME...
