...dignity under siege, the last thing Lewinsky wants to do is spend the fall and next spring answering prurient questions from Congressmen about her private life. The sheer possibility of semen on the dress would be like truth serum in Clinton's orange juice: Nothing like a DNA test to bring out the best in a man. Sure enough, no sooner had the dress made its way to the FBI lab than Clinton's aides began to hint that he might admit to the affair after...

Sources close to Ken Starr say they have obtained a sample of President Clinton's DNA Thursday, and that it will be sent directly to the FBI crime lab where Monica's infamous blue Gap dress currently resides.

"It's just like we were going to do this hush-hush," Linda says. "They were very unprofessional." The Rogerses refused to let them test Rebecca...
...small children still love it. That's because the Mayzie vs. Horton dustup affirms what they already know: real parents are people who are dedicated and unshakably there for you, day in and day out. Period. In their limited world view, the parent-child connection is not spun from DNA. Rather, it's woven with the mundane strands of everyday life, the countless gestures, large and small, that repeatedly reaffirm: I see you, I love you; I am yours, you are mine...
