I think the excerpt from the article is right on. Starr wouldn't be spending all the money to just accuse him of lying about sex with Monica.

"Anyone can achieve a hard landing," Miyazawa was quoted as telling Obuchi. In a like vein, Kaoru Yosano, the new minister of international trade and industry, told Reuters Television today that he opposed forcing large banks to close. "We must avoid applying stringent conditions that make banks fail," he said. "We must not make banks which are too large fail." >> The Achilles' heel strikes again.
