...Larry about the Iraq staredown. It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood when the next visitor, Democratic National Committee head Roy Romer, said that the contribution business is better than ever. Oh -- and he believes the President. Larry wrapped it up with the usual suspects: morality mogul Bill Bennett, Bob Squier (playing the Democrat) and Ed Rollins. Can you say b-o-r-i-n-g? Sure...
First, she asked attorney Bob Bennett to try to move up the trial date of the Paula Jones case, now scheduled to start in May, to keep that scandal from dragging out any longer. Besides, even if Jones has a case, it's a hard one to prove; and were Clinton to emerge victorious from that trial, he could try to spin it into a big, warm blanket vindication.

He makes few speeches, shuns TV, grants almost no interviews and never, ever discusses his friendship with Clinton...
...time on the phone.") Later Willey served, by explicit presidential appointment, as the only non-expert member of U.S. delegations to Copenhagen and Jakarta, unsalaried but comfortably accommodated. Her son Patrick was accepted as a White House intern. Another intriguing point was a seeming gaffe by presidential attorney Robert Bennett. Having dubbed the alleged presidential grope "preposterous" and Tripp "not to be believed," Bennett suggested that Clinton might have been comforting Willey on her loss, which the media deemed unlikely in light of the assertion by Tripp and at least one other acquaintance that the job interview took place before...
