When Monica left her videotaped deposition at the Mayflower Hotel last week, she was her usual Garboesque self: a shock of black hair, a fashion statement and silence. Unlike her pursuers on Capitol Hill, who brake for cameras, she plows determinedly through the crowd--never a comment, never a pose, never a clue. This encourages others to cast her in whatever role suits their favorite story line: starstruck ingenue, thong-flashing temptress, duplicitous home wrecker, innocent victim, Vanity Fair vamp or troubled product of a broken home in need of ministering, the kind only a President can give...
...paradise lies beyond the prison gates and through the storm-ravaged Honduran countryside. Just outside the local Pizza Hut in the town of La Ceiba, boys addicted to sniffing glue work the streets until gringos offer to buy them shoes or let the boys watch TV in their hotel rooms.

I didn't fancy being lumped in my friends' minds with the impeachment managers from the House of Representatives, who give the impression of being the sort of people who bathe about every hour...
...might have seen me walking around campus in a suit last week. Then again, I was probably difficult to pick out. There were a lot of graduating seniors walking around in suits last week, hair freshly gelled and portfolios in hand, marching off to Hilles Library or the Charles Hotel. Come spring vacation, many of these suited students will have nice recruiting jobs lined up for next year. I, on the other hand, will not. Over the course of a week, I pretended to sell everything from cars to computers to denture cleansers. The one thing I couldn't sell...
