Nation begins earnest and wrenching debate over report to Congress by independent counsel Kenneth W Starr outlining sexual affair between Pres Clinton and former White House intern Monica S Lewinsky and finding grounds for impeachment, while his attorneys argue that even possible perjury by President is not sufficient grounds for impeachment; many citizens express revulsion at Clinton's behavior, but also reluctance to put nation through trauma of Presidential resignation or impeachment; CBS News Poll finds while two-thirds of Americans feel Clinton does not share their moral values, identical number does not believe he should resign from office; finds while his popularity ratings have slipped over past several days, he still remains considerably more popular than Kenneth Starr; White House intensifies vigorous defense of Clinton and continues attacks on Starr in apparent reaction to public opinion polls; at least 30 newspapers call on Clinton to resign, while others ponder historical impact of scandal; clergy in worship services nationwide use week's events to emphasize power of redemption and healing grace of God, even as Clinton refrains from attending church after learning that topic of sermon would be forgiveness; aides say Clinton feared presence would have made congregation uncomfortable; Sen Trent Lott, Senate majority leader, says evidence is overwhelming that Clinton lied to grand jury; says perjury could clearly be grounds to open impeachment inquiry; urges Clinton to weigh carefully his future decisions and their impact; says Clinton must come to terms with seriousness of matter; House Judiciary Committee chairman, Repr Henry Hyde, says he believes report warrants impeachment hearings; White House dispatches members of Clinton's legal team to television news programs to rebut what they contend is Starr's politically motivated effort to humiliate President; argue, in significant shift in strategy, that even if Clinton committed perjury in civil disposition in January and again before criminal grand jury in August, that alone does not constitute sufficient grounds to begin impeachment proceedings; comments by David E Kendall and Charles F C Ruff noted; photos (L)
