One day after Independent prosecutor Kenneth Starr delivered his report to Congress- -it seems it'll be only one MORE day before the public gets to see it... or most of it.
One source on Capitol Hill says the report alleges that Clinton lied under oath in his grand jury testimony last month, and in his deposition in the Paula Jones lawsuit in January.
The report spells out some detailed evidence that prosecutors believe will show perjury by the president.
They say Clinton is guilty of obstruction of justice, witness tampering and abuse of power.

Medical technology now exists for parents to determine the sex of their unborn children with a 90 percent certainty.

A lab in Fairfax developed the technology on the relatively simple principal that it takes more genetic material to produce a girl than a boy.
That makes those cells larger and easier to sort.
A device known as the Micro-sort stains sperm cells with a flourescent dye and tags them with a laser.
The cells are then separated with the majority of female cells going to one side and male on the other. Then doctors use the selected cells to fertilize an egg.
The process is showing remarkable success.
