Since that night, DeAngelis has had to grope around in a darkness most of us will never know. The entire nation has wondered why Harris and Klebold did what they did, but imagine wondering whether you could have stopped it. The uncertainties of Columbine will be with DeAngelis forever...
...statements and counterstatements piled ever higher, I wondered if there was a thong or late-night pizza in the stack somewhere, a grope in a private study while a head of state was arriving for dinner or, better yet, some tapes, preferably of phone sex. It's going to take a lot to engage a jaded, sated public in yet another one of these cases, exhausted as we are by years of Clinton scandals and the sexual-harassment suit of the century, which came to resemble an Italian opera.

Steele says she didn't hear about the alleged grope until 1997, when Newsweek wanted her to corroborate Willey's story.

Willey tried to work evening events at the White House and wore a particular cleavage-highlighting black dress...
...remarkably cantilevered V.I.P. star was set to visit Argentina after filming a commercial in Uruguay but cut her tour short after being swarmed by hundreds of randy Uruguayan boys eager to cop a feel. Following a press conference, the teens shouted vulgarities at poor Pam, then attempted to grope her. Unnerved, Anderson fled back to the relative safety of the States, where teenage boys are happy just to download her naked image from the Internet...
