That was last summer, before her life spun completely out of control, before it was again and again on Oprah and Dateline and Geraldo, before it was retold (and often mistold) in papers from the New York Times to the tabloids. Letourneau's relationship with Vili, who turns 15 in June, as well as her conviction and imprisonment, have drawn international attention. The BBC has come to Seattle to film a documentary. Her image has been an alluring paradox: at once darling suburban teacher and predatory monster; so blond, so pretty, so...dangerous to children? She is more complicated...

Joseph McCarthy. "He was my No. 1 cheerleader back to legitimacy," Geraldo Rivera, who was a student of Friendly's at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, told the Associated Press. "When I went into the show-bizzy aspects of the early days of my talk show, he would kind of roll his eyes and say, 'Oh, you were my smartest student...
Americans are having trouble coming to terms with President Clinton's latest crisis. After two full days of the Monica Lewinsky scandal ? dubbed "Zippergate" by Geraldo Rivera; "Fornigate" and "Interngate" by others ? few can yet discern whether this is history as tragedy or as farce. The mood across the country is a mixture of shock, disbelief, amusement and outrage...
