Attorneys for Paula Jones today received a second subpoena from independent prosecutor Ken Starr asking for any depositions, sworn statements or pleadings related to Kathleen Willey, Monica Lewinsky and other "Jane Does." The Office of the Special Prosecutor is, in effect, asking for all of the Jones team's research into other women alleged to have been involved with the President...
...story opens, narrator Jane Goodall, 30 ("not the Jane Goodall, but sometimes I think it was my name that led me from men to cows, from cows to monkeys, and then to all my research and theories"), introduces the Old-Cow-New-Cow theory. Bull meets Cow. They mate. Soon, Bull wants New Cow. Jane, a TV talk-show booker, is, in a nutshell, Old Cow.

Like the rest of us, the show's overly analytic foursome must pick their way through an increasingly chaotic social battlefield, forced to write their own etiquette for even...
...thick as kidney pie. Now there's scarcely a trace of it; in fact, the King's Head looks as if the patrons are waiting for the Queen to show up for tea and crumpets. "It's a bit ridiculous, if you ask me," says bartender Jane Myers, a Brit who wonders why Americans can't just let themselves go. "They'll come in here and order fish and chips and a diet Coke. Now, what's that about...
