Clinton lawyer Bob Bennett, constrained by politics from delving into PAULA JONES' sexual history as he prepares for a possible trial in her harassment suit, intends to probe what he asserts was Jones' real motive for coming forward: money. To that end, a crucial witness could be CARRIE FERRARO, who rented Paula and Steve Jones a Glendale, Calif., house in May 1993. Ferraro told TIME that almost from the start, the couple complained of being broke. They were frequently late paying the $900 monthly rent, she says, and Paula often asked to borrow money. The chatty Paula, she claims, never...
...Chicago, Daley has taken on his city's most intractable problem: a $3 billion school system that former U.S. Education Secretary William Bennett once called the worst in the nation. Two years ago, Daley, a Democrat, convinced Illinois' Republican state legislature to hand him authority over the schools. He ousted the city's entrenched educational bureaucracy, installed a school board that put nearly 20% of the schools on probation for low performance and got approval for $850 million in bond issues to build new school buildings and renovate old ones. The Daley regime's hard-hitting reforms, which included cutting...
WASHINGTON: William Bennett and Mario Cuomo. Who could say "no" to this odd couple? The Partnership for a Drug-Free America hopes millions of teenagers will, after Congress says "yes."

By the time the covered wagons and handcarts had concluded their westward roll, geographic isolation had reinforced social exclusion: the Mormons' camp on the Great Salt Lake was 800 miles from the nearest settlement. Says Senator Bob Bennett, whose grandfather was a President: "In Young's day the church was the only source of accumulated capital in the territory. If anything was built, it had to be built by the church because no one else had any money...
...MIAMI: Bennett LeBow has coughed up another one of tobacco's dirty little secrets. The owner of the Liggett Group (Chesterfields, L&M, Lark, Eve), who was the first industry leader to admit to tobacco's ills when he crossed the party line in March, says he had been thinking about going public for years, and that $10 million a year from big brother Philip Morris helped keep him quiet. In 1995, with tobacco companies embroiled in a massive suit with state attorneys general, Philip Morris came knocking on the door of his financially troubled company. The larger firm said...
