...little disingenuous, since Lewinsky left the White House staff nearly two years ago for a job at the Pentagon. Ginsburg also made light of the "souvenir shop" gifts that Lewinsky received from Clinton--no dress, "unless you consider a long T shirt a dress." And as for the alleged 'DNA dress,' " he added, "I have said for two weeks now that I have investigated that very carefully because I think it's a very important potential piece of evidence.

California passed badly worded legislation that temporarily bans not just human cloning but also a procedure that shows promise as a new treatment for infertility...

If so, his family wants to rebury him back home near St. Louis, or perhaps elsewhere in Arlington. Pentagon...
