...Within the narrower context of the trial, it's at least clear that somebody's lying. Steele says she didn't hear about the alleged grope until 1997, when Newsweek wanted her to corroborate Willey's story. Willey says she confided in Steele not only hours afterward, in November 1993, but repeatedly throughout the years following. Steele, Willey testified Wednesday, "wanted to be very much into this story" and "wanted to make money off of it." Novak says Willey's credibility has some big bruises -- she's even lied to the independent counsel -- but Starr's biggest hurdle...
...Willey has a pile of credibility issues. For one, plenty of evidence contradicts her 60 Minutes description of Clinton's allegedly upsetting grope. Linda Tripp, of all people, told Starr's FBI agents last June that Willey was flirting with the President for months before the supposed incident. Tripp claimed that Willey, a White House volunteer, would call Tripp at home at night to find out Clinton's schedule so she could position herself nearby. 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...
...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...
