A 33 NATION, STATE WELCOME President CLINTON and the First Family to Martha's Vineyard! Starr demands further testimony, the president's team would like to be able to argue that prosecutors are intent on grilling him only about intimate matters. David Kendall, Clinton's private lawyer, did not agree to extend his testimony more than a few minutes beyond the four-hour time limit, even though prosecutors had more questions. Starr said that he might subpoena Clinton for further testimony. The White House would' not confirm the request for samples of Clinton's genetic material from Starr's office. It released a twosentence statement: "On Monday night the president acknowledged an improper relationship and apologized for that.
The president also said it's time to reclaim his privacy, and we will respect that DNA: Starr seeking dress comparison Continued from Page Al president's, terse public description of their relationship, is scheduled to appear for a second time before the grand jury. Starr's request suggested that he is determined to learn the spetific nature of the physical contact between Clinton and Lewinsky, presumably in an effort to find inconsistencies between Clinton's and Lewinsky's accounts and to establish whether he committed perjury in his deposition in the Paula Jones case when he denied having a sexual relationship with Lewinsky. 'Some of his advisers believe that such an effort could work to the president's political benefit as Congress weighs conducting impeachment hearings. They say it could make prosecutors look sexobsessed, even as most Americans tell pollsters that they already know more than they would like about lies, betrayal and sexual indiscretion at the White House. A -careful vagueness about his encounters with Lewinsky is central to the president's legal and political strategy, his advisers say, since it may help deflect a possible perjury charge while also walling ff seamy details from an already Queasy public.
Clinton was even pore vague in his four -minute adtress Monday night than in his testimony. Clinton refused to give prosecutors a detailed description of his physical contact with Lewinsky, after reading a statement admitting an inappropriate relationship at the beginning of his four-hour testimony. Starr has been seeking to determine if Clinton committed perjury in January, when he denied any sexual relationship with Lewinsky in a deposition in the Jones sexual misconduct lawsuit. In his testimony Monday, Clinton argued that the type of relationship he had with Lewinsky did fit the definition of sex used by the Jones lawyers. Although he rebuffed prosecutors' questions about his sexual contact with Lewinsky, he did answer a series of questions about what types of sex he considered to be covered by that definition, one Clinton adviser said yesterday.
The president said that oral sex, among other acts, was not covered by the definition, the adviser said. But the adviser to Clinton said that he did not acknowledge having oral sex or any other type of specific sexual contact with Lewinsky, instead referring prosecutors back to his initial statement. "Over and over, he said, 'I've already said that it was said the adviser, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Clinton advisers have said that Clinton answered every question put to him that did not deal with sex. That position is also central to the president's political defense.
If by not commenting on every leak generated by this investigation." As Lewinsky prepared to testify, she was said by friends to be unhappy about Clinton's speech. Lewinsky, her friends and associates said, was dismayed to hear what she regarded as an 18- month, emotional relationship with Clinton, which included gifts of poetry and neckties, acknowledged as merely an inappropriate dalliance. Lewinsky has told friends that she was trying to protect the president when she signed the affidavit falsely in January that she had not had a sexual relationship. And in the seven months since, Lewinsky has been "profoundly disappointed" that the White House has quietly attempted to smear her. Controversy mutes Clinton birthday celebration By SANDRA SOBIERAJ Associated Press EDGARTOWN President Clinton tallied the years 52 this time in a contemplative and muted birthday that held at least one stark reminder of the controversy back in Washington.
It was Vernon Jordan golfing partner, political fix-it man and witness before the grand jury dissecting Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky. Jordan and his wife were having Clinton, the first lady and Chelsea to their Martha's Vineyard home for dinner and birthday presents. With the investigation continuing, White House spokesman Mike McCurry dismissed any raised eyebrows about yesterday's convergence of Clinton's legal problems and social life. Another longtime Clinton friend, Carolyn Staley, guessed the president was counting his. blessings yesterday -his family's and Jordan's enduring loyalty among them.
Clinton "treats birthdays like Year's Day. They're a time to kind of do an accounting," Staley said in an interview. By McCurry's account, the Clintons were nesting hurting, maybe, but together. They shared a late breakfast, lunch and walks in the secluded tall grasses where they are staying. But the spokesman acknowledged he hadn't spoken to Clinton.
He said his information was re-' layed by Capricia Marshall, the White House social secretary who, as Clinton's closest aide, was staying with the first family. So tight was the information that McCurry was squirreling away nuggets to keep reporters fed later on. Asked what gifts the president had received, McCurry demurred. "That will be. tomorrow's exciting news." Staley and other friends dating back to Clinton's Arkansas boyhood speculated this birthday would be particularly sober, coming two days after he publicly apologized to his family for an inappropriate relationship with the young White House intern.
Last year, husband-and-wife actors Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen treated Clinton to a birthday clambake at their Vineyard farm. Clinton's 50th birthday at Radio City Music Hall was the occasion for a $10-million fundraiser by the Democratic National Exclusive New England Appearance!

Associated Press Barnicle: Columnist ends Globe career Continued from Page Al light of his failure to follow the most basic reporting requirements as well as the duplicitous way in which the story was written, it is clear that Mike Barnicle can no longer write for The Boston Globe I think this has been a horrendous period, but now we can at least put it behind Reached last night, Barnicle, 54, said, "I'm sorry Matt thinks I'm duplicitous.
I believe that story to be true. I was told it by a nurse. I've been trying all day to track down two people involved in that column." He added that he agreed to resign because "of the weight of this It was too much, it was absurd. The feeding frenzy that has disrupted this paper. Matt Storin doesn't deserve it, the Globe doesn't deserve it, and I don't deserve it." The 1995 column told a detailed and poignant story of two families one black and poor, one white and affluent that bonded because they both had young sons suffering from cancer.
After the poor child died, the wealthy family sent a $10,000 check to his family, which was struggling for economic survival. The newspaper began probing the latest charge against Barnicle Tuesday when Storin received a letter from Kenneth Tomlinson, a former editor-in-chief of Reader's Digest who was writing a story on his experiences with Barnicle for The Weekly Standard magazine. Tomlinson said that in 1995 he had wanted to reprint the Barnicle cancer column as the lead article in the digest's January 1996 issue. But, Tomlinson said, "Barnicle declined to help me" confirm the facts, and after "exhaustive efforts" to verify the story, "we cont cluded the column was fabricated." The magazine did not tell the Globe of its suspicions. Starting Tuesday morning, assistant managing editor Walter Robinson, who last week was appointed Barnicle's supervising editor, attempted unsuccessfully to verify key facts of the column through conversations with Barnicle.
and with officials at Children's Hospital and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. According to Robinson's ac-: count of his conversations with the columnist, Barnicle said he heard the account from a nurse who worked at the Dana-Farber Can-' cer Institute and who had heard! the story from the affluent family with the surviving child. But Barnicle was unable, said Robinson, to' 1. provide the name of the nurse or, further corroborating details. When Robinson told Barnicle: that he was troubled by his reliance on a third-hand source for: the graphic details in the column, Robinson said the columnist told? him, "That's the way I do it." By yesterday afternoon the Globe decided to ask for Barnicle's resignation and Barnicle agreed to! quit during a phone conversation with Globe chairman William 0.
Taylor. In addressing the Storin said Barnicle "could offer no account of attempting to check out details of the story by calling Children's Hospital or either set of 4 parents. In fact, he said he did not know the parents' names. Yet he quoted the black parents in the story and quoted from the letter: the white parents had purportedly sent with the check." "The story may well prove to be true or essentially true," Storin. added.
"But the reporting procedures violated any basic journalistic standard." 4 r.
