That evening the White House got another assist, from a former stage-production teacher at Lewinsky's Beverly Hills high school named Andrew Bleiler, who revealed his affair with Lewinsky and cast her as a manipulative, star-struck home wrecker. A college schoolmate described her to a Swedish newspaper as a "notorious liar" and "a cheater." Penthouse, meanwhile, was offering Lewinsky $2 million to pose and tell her story; it all played nicely to what has been described as the "nuts and sluts" defense that would carefully paint Lewinsky as a less than reliable witness...

What Krauthammer failed to report was what I also said in a phone conversation with him: the purposeful creation...
Both within Judaism and in Harvard's worldview, there is a healthy respect for the dead. We are constantly educated with and measured against the scholarship, philosophies and lifestyles of those who came before us. The slate headstones of Harvard presidents and professors, slanting with age, cast long shadows, as do the names on the room histories distributed to every first-year: Emerson, Roosevelt, Kennedy.
