Jordan, 62, is indeed known for helping others, opening doors and making introductions for hundreds of acquaintances over the years. But what moved him to pull so many strings for this former White House intern, an obscure woman whom others have characterized as unremarkable? Her "drive, ambition and personality," Jordan told the reporters, "were impressive...

Last week America learned there was probable cause to believe the President betrayed his wife, his daughter and his country. Whether or not it is finally proved that he had an affair with a 21-year-old intern and then tried to cover it up, he behaved irresponsibly enough to enable prosecutors to expand what started out as an investigation of an Arkansas land deal into a fishing expedition for intimate details of his daily--and nightly--life...
