Some of the hippies will call this paternalistic, saying that implicit in the offer of admission to Harvard is a trust that the admitted student is smart enough to make their own fashion decisions.

Though the scenario conflicts with Lewinsky's version, and raises the obvious question of why Currie would agree to provide ministorage for Lewinsky without the implicit urging of her boss, it would help get Clinton off the hook for possible obstruction of justice. The President's lawyers also leaked word last week that Clinton had tried to put Lewinsky back on the White House payroll last year after she was exiled to the Pentagon by asking deputy...
