Partisan to me, implies bias. Even though he worked with Kennedy I'm not sure he was the kind of man who would be a partisan. As I said I'd have to do more research. Your own source yielded the quote about Cox's valuing a clear conscience over all else. And for what it is worth I don't think Starr is partisan. I think like most of us Star has been given a job and he'd like to do it to the best of his abillities. After reading some of the better books on Whitewater I can understand why Starr would be so diligent in his quest. The whole thing, taken altogether, smells rather rank. As this new sex business does.

Duncan -- Interesting discussion, but if one reads Hunter's posted URL, one might have a slightly different perspective. One can use the term "partisan" in several ways; Cox (whose integrity NO ONE questioned) played a part in several Dem administrations and was a trusted adviser to the Kennedys, but did not appear to let his past associations color his role vis a vis Watergate. Starr has less of a "pedigree", and has spent far more time as special prosecutor than did Cox. Starr also appears to be trying to use the role as a springboard to bigger things. I would certainly have surmised that, after he found nothing strong enough to justify prosecution of the Clintons (and I still wonder why he pursued Hilary so diligently - she has no official ties to the Federal gov.) he would have found something of more value to pursue. But, then, I don't know what he had in the works. BTW, one of my favorite commentators, Wm Safire (favorite because half the time I'll scream, "Bill, you ignorant twit", the other half I'll scream, "Bill, bro!") had asked much the same question - when is Ken Starr gonna get on with his life? Safire has at least the credentials with conservatives as George Will (sycophant; Cubs fan; affected nerdism) but is far better connected. <G>
