The agent had approached Tripp through an intermediary months before to suggest she participate in a book on former White House lawyer Vince Foster; Tripp had been the last to see Foster before his suicide. The women never struck a deal, but they became close, and Tripp followed Goldberg's counsel on what to do about Lewinsky: she went to RadioShack and bought a tape recorder...

She felt she was being pushed out, and in fact she was; she was told to begin looking for another job. She had little to do but polish her resume and send E-mail to the other secretaries. In one embarrassing message that became public, she called the White House lawyers who took days to find Foster's suicide note "the three stooges." Tripp got her picture in the New York Times but won the enmity of the Clintonites...
