...Never mind that Wright still has to rule on the motion for summary judgment -- remember that? -- brought by presidential lawyer Bob Bennett some weeks ago. Now there is the whole question of Juanita Broaddrick, a 51-year-old Arkansas nurse who denies under oath the Jones team's claim that Clinton raped her or ever made improper advances. Revealing her name, as Jones' lawyers did on Saturday, is "part of a continuing effort to taint the jury pool," according to Bennett. Wright's problem: In a hypersensitive case like this, any ruling she makes looks political. Her most likely solution...

By unleashing a packet of letters and phone records, gifts and invitations from Willey, it went a long way toward clouding her image as a woman mistreated by a rogue President.

And that record doesn't support her claim. She received, according to Bennett's statement of her job history, every merit and cost of living raise she was eligible for, and left her state job of her own volition. She was reassigned after a maternity leave but to a similar data-entry job at the same rate of pay. Jones' team has not effectively...
