Experience, not ideology, deepened Starr's mistrust of the Clinton White House. The Lewinsky scandal followed years of Executive Branch stonewalling in several other investigations. Some of it, Starr's team believed, was criminal. Prosecutors closed their Whitewater grand jury inquiry in 1998, Schmidt and Weisskopf report, convinced that Hillary Clinton had lied to investigators, though they lacked sufficient evidence to indict her. Later, as the Lewinsky scandal progressed, the stonewalling included the Secret Service's "protective function privilege," a fanciful legal gambit designed by Justice Department lawyers to prevent agents from testifying. Starr had reason to believe that this...
...containing the virus at home, over the past two decades AIDS has grown into a pandemic across the developing world. The disease has spread to such a degree that, according to U.S. and U.N. security experts, AIDS now poses a major threat to global stability.

"Had we edited out the music, we would have in effect tampered with the videotape," he is quoted as saying. In addition, Hutfless blames the release in part on the families' lawyers' use of Colorado's Open Records Act to obtain access to the tapes. "[They] could have obtained the same information by using the discovery process...
...Katie: There is a tendency for female students to act like men in order to gain power. It becomes more difficult for women to speak about vulnerability. Women who want to be senators or CEOs think, “maybe I shouldn’t report the rape. People will find out I was weak.” Women at Brigham Young University can’t speak out because sex is an action against the church. Women at Harvard are fighting to become part of the patriarchy. They put up with the rules...
