...this were chess, Clinton would be sacrificing pawns to protect his queen. It's O.K. to let the little details come out, the reasoning goes, so long as no one breaks ranks on the big questions. Thus in the Washington Post's account of the deposition, Clinton concedes a lot of points that had already surfaced elsewhere: he gave Monica gifts; she gave him gifts and brought him pizza as well; he says they may have been alone together, but there was no sex; he says he talked to her about both the Paula Jones case and the fact that...

Which helps explain what Starr wants to know from Currie: How many visits does she recall? Were they during the day or late at night? Was Currie always...
...ALLEN is suing an old man for $12 million, charging him with libel. After reading in the National Enquirer the account of a 71-year-old ex-film librarian named Henry Armstrong in which he described the day he allegedly got run over by Allen and his Ferrari, Allen filed suit, upset that Armstrong's quotes ("He was bleary-eyed and unsteady on his feet, and he never said, 'Sorry.'") made him sound drunk. Armstrong, upset that Allen ran him over, has filed a suit...
