...Vernon Jordan goes before the grand jury Tuesday, and it could be a pivotal moment in Starr's investigation. Jordan, after all, was the special counsel's excuse for joining the dots between Whitewater and Lewinsky -- on the grounds that Jordan was allegedly helping Clinton cover up the Lewinsky affair just as he had obtained Webb Hubbell's silence over Whitewater. If Jordan offers the slightest hint of a concerted effort to keep the former intern quiet, all well and good for Starr. If he sticks to the line given in his first public statement, the grand jury probe becomes...
Getting "proactive" is exactly what got this war going in the first place. Even before the independent counsel seized on Linda Tripp's taped evidence, in mid-January, of an affair between the President and Monica Lewinsky, the White House and its allies had played up Starr's G.O.P. credentials.

...Brown realizes that he regards a black farmer as an equal but not wholeheartedly as a friend, his self-conscious queasiness seems oddly modern. Like Owen, the author has often been confounded by his good intentions. When Bob Dubois migrates to Florida in Continental Drift and has a love affair with a beautiful black woman, Banks sets aside his gritty naturalism, and that is all we learn: she is black and beautiful. Another black woman in that book, a Haitian refugee, remains mostly a symbol of mute, heroic survival, despite chapters devoted...
...very sad that a majority of Americans think Clinton's alleged affair with a young intern isn't important. This scandal has proved that moral standards no longer exist in America. TANIA DUDZIAK London...
