...invasive tactics against him, bringing up the workplace and sexual histories of the prosecutors who themselves were dredging up the workplace and sexual history of the President. And it seemed to be working: just as the probe was supposed to be heating up, two of Starr's top lieutenants, Bruce Udolf and Michael Emmick, were being kept busy just defending themselves from charges of legal and other misconduct--and Starr surely had to appreciate this irony, didn't he?--resulting from a carefully orchestrated campaign of damaging leaks...
...Starr's strategy has been take-lots-of-prisoners. But with the notable exception of Lewinsky's mother Marcia, most of the people Starr brought before the grand jury have been small fry, White House stewards and Lewinsky-level junior aides. With last week's appearance by Bruce Lindsey, Clinton's closest adviser and top secret keeper, the independent counsel is going right for the President's inner circle.

"If the trend reflected in the December U.S. trade deficit continues - and there's every reason to believe it will - the Asian crisis could knock 1 percent off our GDP and wipe out 1 million American jobs," says Van Voorst.
