Pryrrhic victory for Starr!

 I am not shocked  by Clinton's admission of GUILT in

    a sexual affair with a subordinate, the White House intern,

    Monica Lewinsky. Bad judgment yes, but an utterly banal scandal !

        After this unsurprising climax, it should be easier for

    most Americans to see the Starr for what he is - a politically

    motivated , religious crackpot - a greater menace to the Constitution

    than Bill Clinton.

          Can any corporate executive survive such a ruthless probe

    into his private life?  Do we wish to be a nation of snoops

    and snitches and vapid gossips ?

         It is characteristic of totalitarian societies to deny

    the private life. There is a scene in the movie " Doctor Zhivago "

    ( remember the  poet doctor is having an extra-marital affair

    with the beautiful Lara  )  where  the Red army general Pasha

    tells Zhivago : " The personal life is dead in Russia. History

    has killed it !  "

          How many Ken Starr clones are out there  - just waiting

    to distribute Scarlet Letters  to black sheep in our midst ?

          Now we have the TRUTH about the Clinton - Monica affair.

    Three  yawns for the Truth !

         There is still a world out there .
