...Jordan, according to Lewinsky confidant Linda Tripp, tried to solve by counseling Lewinsky in the back of his limo--made the papers anyway, forcing the fixer into the spotlight. Lewinsky reportedly told Tripp that Jordan said to her, "They can't prove anything...Your answer is, 'It didn't happen, it wasn't me.'" If that turns out to be true, Jordan could be on the hook for suborning perjury and obstruction of justice. And if Lewinsky cooperates with independent counsel Kenneth Starr in exchange for immunity, Starr would presumably try to work his way up the ladder to Jordan...

It is impossible to maintain a fire wall between the Washington Post and Matt Drudge.

If the guy has any interest in you whatsoever, he will accept a date with you--otherwise it wasn't going to happen anyway. Believe me, this is true of virtually all the men here--yes, even the very attractive ones. If anyone has learned anything in getting here, it should be that asserting yourself is never the problem. Fear is the problem, and we are all afraid of rejection...
