...five to 10 years. But AT&T today offers local calling to households in parts of just six states (California, Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan, New York and Georgia), and will be in no more than 14 by the end of the year. Nonetheless, "our strategy hasn't changed," insists Harry Bennett, the vice president in charge of AT&T's drive into local markets. "It's just a very, very complex process, and there are problems every step...

Such tactics have done much to blunt the invaders' advance. In California AT&T had hoped to add local subscribers at the rate of 5,000 a day. But Bennett says Pacific Bell has been installing local service for only about 100 new AT&T customers a day, forcing him to scale back marketing efforts in the Golden State. New MCI subscribers have experienced similar delays. Jonathan Sallet, MCI's chief policy counsel, says PacBell takes an average of three weeks to switch on MCI customers in California, although PacBell switches on its own clients in seven days.

...affidavits taken by Bennett, two former friends of Jones'--who claim to have been privy to the most intimate details of her life--cast doubt on her story. One says that far from being horrified by her encounter with Clinton, Jones was filled with "bubbly enthusiasm." The other, a former receptionist for the Governor, says Jones hung around the office hoping to see Clinton. Trooper Ferguson claims Jones gave him her home phone number to give to Clinton. (Jones denies these accounts...

...wonder Bennett feels as if the case is moving his way. He has had to concede that Clinton may have met Jones (while holding on to the claim that Clinton doesn't remember her), but is now free to dissect her varying accounts of what happened in the suite. He should have no trouble exploiting the evidence that the troopers hoped to strike it rich and the picture of Jones as a lovesick puppy hoping to catch Clinton's eye. How will Jones counter that image? She and her handlers scheduled an interview with TIME last week, then canceled...
