...would be more proper to dismiss her on grounds of inappropriate behavior or violation of corporate policy than to claim personal suffering by sexual harassment. His communication to her that the seduction is inappropriate is enough to end the harassment at its earliest stages, without the need for explicit guidelines...
...fact, Newt Gingrich's "Contract with America," compared with Perot's manifesto, is timid in attacking the deficit and ignores other major items on Perot's priority list as well. Even legislators who have enjoyed explicit support from Perot have stiffed him on such critical issues as nafta, gatt and the Administration's effort to nourish Mexico's anemic currency.

Since, by popular demand, they are providing increased access to the Internet, however, they do allow you (after many disclaimers) to add the alt.sex groups to your personal inventory of Usenet newsgroups. Besides, the ``private'' chat rooms on both these services are notorious cyber-fleshpots. In fact...
