...catalog is somewhat hyperbolic--at one point Schimmel actually manages to compare a sculpture of eight naked effigies of Ray sprawling around in a masturbatory group grope to Rodin's Burghers of Calais--but Ray comes out of this show looking clever and sometimes more than that. His sculpture Fall '91, 1992, is a figure of a woman, 8 ft. high, in a red suit, done with slightly more detail and verisimilitude than a window dummy but with much less than complete lifelikeness. Its effect is to wrench your sense of scale out of kilter: far away, with no real...
...Jones now offers a more sinister version of the encounter. Building on her original complaint, she says Clinton tried to grope her crotch and then briefly blocked the door. Jones' lawyers may contend this week, for the first time, that such behavior amounts to assault. They will argue that the incident was "severe" enough--and that Clinton was powerful enough--to create a "hostile environment." Her lawyers will have a hard time finding cases that build a precedent for the single-incident theory, but it is embedded in the harassment guidelines of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission: "a single...
...served, by explicit presidential appointment, as the only non-expert member of U.S. delegations to Copenhagen and Jakarta, unsalaried but comfortably accommodated. Her son Patrick was accepted as a White House intern. Another intriguing point was a seeming gaffe by presidential attorney Robert Bennett. Having dubbed the alleged presidential grope "preposterous" and Tripp "not to be believed," Bennett suggested that Clinton might have been comforting Willey on her loss, which the media deemed unlikely in light of the assertion by Tripp and at least one other acquaintance that the job interview took place before Willey learned--a day after...
Already a gossip, Tripp was now doubtless more attuned than ever to tattles she could tell. And she had a juicy one. In 1993 she had bumped into Kathleen Willey just as the Virginia socialite was emerging, rather bedraggled, from the alleged Oval Office grope session. Tripp told that tale to Newsweek last summer (see related story). And of course Tripp made another friend--Monica Lewinsky, who worked in the same Pentagon office. The more Tripp heard during their chats, the more it sounded to her that America had no idea how far Clinton could go, even after the Willey...
...said to be the size of Washington, D.C. But so what? As TIME?s Pentagon correspondent Dick Thompson pointed out Wednesday, you can manufacture nerve gas in a 10?x10? room. How many 10?x10? rooms can there be in Iraq? That?s an awful lot of haystacks to grope around in. Perhaps those weapons inspectors ought to quit while they?re ahead, and take up more promising positions ? like in Ted Kaczynski?s defense team...
