As the political dust from the President's public confession settles
across the nation, anticipation is now building about what it will mean
to Kenneth Starr's upcoming report to Congress.
CLINTON:: THIS HAS GONE ON TOO LONG, COST TOO MUCH,
AND HAS HURT TOO MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE.
The President's speech took aim, in part, at the Independent Counsel...clearly trying to further mold public opinion.
The Speaker of the House was saying it may be too early to react now, but signaled a constitutional struggle could be on the horizon.
NEWT GINGRICH/R-GA): MY DEEPEST FEELING IS THAT ALL OF THIS IS PART OF A MUCH BIGGER STORY...AND WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE REPORT.
Democrats were expressing disappointment in the President's admitted
behavior ...with one calling for his resignation...but most were just urging an end to the investigation. They weren't doing it in front of the cameras.
And word came down through a spokesperson that the First Lady is, quote "committed to her marriage"...and that she had learned what her husband
planned to tell the grand jury this past weekend.
The President headed off for a two week vacation in Martha's Vineyard...after spending much of the day working the phones, trying to drum up support on the Hill.
Meanwhile, the grand jury was still receiving guests...with former presidential adviser, Dick Morris on the stand.

Roanoke County's water system tests in the moderate to hard range.
Roanoke city water is considered soft to moderate with very little calcium and magnesium.
But well water is generally hard water that seeps through the ground and picks up minerals.
The study suggests the itchy skin condition that is a common problem in children, is a result of hard water.
Roanoke Dermatologist Susan Dorsey says there isn't enough evidence to determine if excess minerals in hard water irritate the children's skin, or if the drying effects of soap and shampoo are responsible.
