Poor CRISTY ZERCHER. The most newly proclaimed Clinton harassee, whose story appears this week in the Star, didn't get nearly as much for telling her tale as her predecessors. The former flight attendant, who claims Clinton stroked her breast from the side for 40 minutes and fondled a suggestively shaped orange during campaign flights, was paid about $50,000 for her story.

But she's not making an appointment to get breast implants and I'm not frantically sinking wells in the backwaters of Texas. Idealizations are a fiction, and those who confuse fiction with reality have bigger problems than the posters on their walls...
...CHEERS HERE Women, watch what you drink. The largest report yet on the link between breast cancer and drinking finds that the risk of breast cancer rises 9% with every 10 grams of alcohol consumed daily. That comes to about one glass of beer, wine or spirits...
