President Clinton says he will direct a vigorous defense yet admits wrongdoing. Key figures including Kenneth Starr Monica Lewinsky Rev. Davie and David Kendall react as lawmakers debate whether to pursue a fuller inquiry. Blagojevich and Graham offer contrasting takes on the unfolding controversy.
President Clinton, emotional and contrite, told religious leaders that he has sinned and repented at the National Prayer Breakfast. He said his sorrow is genuine and vowed to seek pastoral support while not shying from a vigorous defense of his actions. He urged that integrity matters for children and acknowledged hurt to Monica Lewinsky and her family.
First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke about her mother’s difficult childhood while promoting foster care programs. She avoided discussing her husband’s affair, praising pro family policies and sharing memories of her visit to foster children in California. Colleagues said she handled the Lewinsky matter with poise as she supports Chelsea’s security and opportunity.
Market nerves rise as Clinton's political troubles mix with a global slowdown and a plunging dollar. Rubin reassures markets he will stay, aiming to keep the US economy steady, while Greenspan hints at possible rate cuts. After a day of gains and a 400 point Dow slide, investors remain wary of Asia crisis and policy signals.
Parents and teachers face the question of how to discuss the Starr report linked on the House site with children. School officials urge guiding internet use, explaining content age appropriately, while noting words may be less stimulating than images and stressing open dialogue at home.
The Starr report accuses President Clinton of 11 acts that may constitute grounds for impeachment. It cites perjury in the Paula Jones case regarding Monica Lewinsky, grand jury lies, and attempts to obstruct justice. The document details oaths, depositions, and alleged schemes to conceal evidence and influence witnesses.
