One, well, I'm still undecided.

Two and three: I don't believe he should ever have been called to testify about his sex life except as it specifically concerned Paula Jones. I don't believe the public (or the law) has the right to know anything more unless another woman wishes to press harassment charges. As someone remarked much earlier, these days sexual harassment seems to be whatever the woman wants it to be. We need a better law.

If he lied about whether he'd had it off with Monica when giving his deposition, I frankly don't think it's especially serious. As has often been noted in the press, it is very very unusual for anyone to be prosecuted for perjured testimony given in a civil case. If, however, he suborned perjury, I'm afraid that's a graver matter. Though I very much doubt Starr'll ever be able to get the goods on him even if he did.

As I've said before, in my view he should simply refused to testify about Lewinsky or any women except Jones. What would they have done? Thrown him in jail for contempt of court? I very much doubt it.
