Last Thursday night, more than a month after the intern named Chandra Levy vanished from Washington, California Representative Gary Condit traveled to the Jefferson Hotel (yep, Dick Morris slept there) to meet with Levy's parents and their attorney, Billy Martin (yep, he represented Monica Lewinsky's mother). The meeting lasted about 20 minutes and did not include Dr. Robert Levy. Dazed during an earlier meeting with the D.C. Police and a tour of its "Synchronized Operations Command Center," where tips are processed, the doctor couldn't face the Congressman who had called his daughter a "good friend," then...
Like would-be starlets in Hollywood, interns come to Washington with big dreams and a hunger to be noticed. Monica's neediness and naivete weren't an aberration. As Clinton was, Condit could be a politician capable of surviving the infatuation of an intern getting out of hand--if that's what happened. Condit is a retail guy in his home district, so sensitive to his constituents' needs that he helps them find apartments in D.C. Unable to say no, he had as many as 10 interns on staff one summer. A workhorse on the Agriculture Committee, he serves...
...more than a month, Washington has been intrigued by two missing persons. First came the Missing Intern, Chandra Levy, 24, last seen April 30, when she closed out her membership at a D.C. health club. She hasn't been heard from since she e-mailed her parents on May 1 about flights home for her graduation from the University of Southern California. When her parents couldn't reach her for five days, they called the D.C. police, who entered Chandra's Dupont Circle apartment on May 10. They found no signs of a struggle and everything in order--a packed...
...Sequoia National Park. The married Democrat, 53, has not said a word publicly but has issued written statements through his staff. In the first statement, Condit called Chandra a "good friend" (they had met when she came to visit a friend in his office shortly after she became an intern in the Justice Department's Bureau of Prisons) and pledged a $10,000 reward from his campaign treasury for her return. Since then his lawyer, Joe Cotchett, has fired off letters to the media demanding retractions of various stories. One reported that Chandra had told a close relative about...
...Meantime, evil goes to and fro in the earth, and walks up and down in it. In Thursday morning's edition of the New York Times, a Chandra Levy story appears on page A-22: "POLICE ASK CONGRESSMAN TO TALK ABOUT INTERN." Right next to that story is a picture of a woman wearing glasses, staring straight ahead, with her hands in her lap, and a caption that is disturbing in a different vein: "Andrea Yates in custody yesterday after calling officers to her Houston home, where her four sons and one daughter, ages 6 months to 7 years...
