Washington experienced a big week with major developments in the Clinton/Lewinsky case. Clinton will testify. Lewinsky obtains immunity from independent counsel Kenneth Starr in exchange for her testimony that she and Clinton had agreed to attempt to conceal an alleged sexual relationship. Members of the comedy troop Capitol Steps follow these matters very closely. They call themselves the only group in Washington funnier than Congress. Call: Capitol Steps CD/Info 1-(800)733-STEP.

Guests:

  • Brad Van Grack, worked for Republican Congressmember Harris Fawell (R-IL) before joining Capitol Steps. He plays Bill Clinton.
