...line-by-line reassessment of his plan's assumptions, a chart titled Budget Deficit Forecasts Under PPF Policies was, according to one Clinton aide, "rounded off in a conelike fashion and rendered approximate."

Clinton stared at the chart, pointed to the cone that represented his advisers' estimate that the numbers were off by at least $24 billion (and perhaps much more) and said, "What's this?"

Last week three other women brought an $8.1 million suit against Mets pitcher David Cone, charging him with various sexual outrages, including masturbating in front of one of them in the Shea Stadium bullpen in 1989. This woman says that as she left the bullpen Cone told her, "You're a big baby. You're not invited to showtime anymore." Cone and his accused teammates deny the allegations...
