DIED. LLOYD BRIDGES, 85, protean actor and patriarch of an acting dynasty, whose myriad roles ranged from the dramatic (High Noon) to the slapstick (Airplane!) and, most famously, to the adventurous (Sea Hunt); in Los Angeles. As former Navy frogman and underwater gumshoe Mike Nelson in the 1950s television series, Bridges popularized skin diving, though he felt artistically hemmed in by his watery role and once mused, "If we could just get some way to do Hamlet underwater, I'd be happy."

But those questions are just questions. They aren't very much...
...HUNT Vernon Jordan admitted long ago that he had helped Lewinsky find a private-sector job; the issue is why, and at whose behest? The stories, as told so far, are consistent. Currie made the approach to Jordan, which allows Clinton to maintain that he was passive in the job hunt and yet invited Jordan to work aggressively on her behalf. Starr is certain to press Currie this week on who instigated the effort and when...
