The Legacy
Dutton / Signet 1999 373 pages 16 8x10 9x3 1cm. 1999. Broché. 373 pages. The central feature of this Stephen Frey novel is a fascination with the Kennedy assassination and the answer that conspiracy junkies have long believed: that the United States government has been involved in covering up the existence of a second gunman ever since that fateful day in November 1963. In Frey's world while the government was not responsible for the assassination the belief that evidence of a conspiracy would have pushed the Cold War into a hot one "forced" those at the top to keep that evidence to themselves. The novel's prologue sets the stage as a struggling actress goes to Dallas and films the motorcade on a whim. Before she has even digested that she has captured one of the most memorable moments in American history her camera is ripped from her grasp by a mysterious man. The chapter that follows jumps to 1998 as New York bonds trader Cole Egan receives a phone call telling him of his estranged father's death and of a package that awaits him in a safety deposit box. The package of course contains a video of the film stolen from the actress and Cole realizes he is sitting on a gold mine: from the other side of Dealey Plaza the tape shows the firing rifle denied by the Warren Commission. Of course the U.S. government has not gone to all the trouble of keeping such information secure for over 30 years just to let some upstart indebted bonds trader make a fortune selling the truth to the highest bidder. The novel takes flight as the dashing and resourceful Cole begins his quest to receive the benefits of his legacy while competently evading the knives guns and explosives of a super secret government agency. Not only is the government (portrayed as a surprisingly well-organized structure) intent on controlling the truth so are those who might be accused of the assassination. Although Cole is initially confident about who the bad guys are the suspense builds as the line separating allies and enemies dissolves and our hero finds out quite a lot about himself his father and the lengths to which the government will go to keep its secrets. --Kimberly Crouch

The Starr Report: The Independent Counsel's Complete Report to Congress on the Investigation of President Clinton
Pocket Books 1998 523 pages poche. 1998. broché. 523 pages. Here it is--the result of four years of investigative research at an approximate cost of $40 million. Back in 1994 Kenneth Starr was appointed to investigate a series of investments made by Bill and Hillary Clinton; the Whitewater allegations never bore fruit but then somebody whispered stories about the president and an intern named Monica Lewinsky into Starr's ear. He and his team of prosecutors sniffed around and this is what they've come up with: "According to Ms. Lewinsky she and the President had ten sexual encounters eight while she worked at the White House and two thereafter." The details are bathetic in their precision: "during many of their sexual encounters " Starr notes "the President stood leaning against the doorway of the bathroom across from the study which he told Ms. Lewinsky eased his sore back." And yes as far as we know that was the president's semen on Monica's navy dress. Whether or not it's the government's job to produce hackneyed narratives about young women who find themselves falling in love with powerful men is for voters to decide but this story would be rejected outright by readers of Harold Robbins or Jackie Susann were it not for the newsworthy elements. Of course there's also the second half of the report in which Starr explains how Clinton's attempts to prevent his relationship with Lewinsky from becoming public knowledge constitute grounds for his impeachment. That's the part of the document that matters most from a political perspective ... but it's doubtful that it'll be the part that lingers in historical memory. (Note: You can also read the Starr report in electronic form for free at a number of locations on the Web including the Library of Congress site and the commercial sites AOL.com Netscape Netcenter and Yahoo!)
