...Monica Lewinsky slipped into a little black dress and danced barefoot in the Pacific for a Vanity Fair shoot with Herb Ritts, it was the next best thing to a seaweed wrap and full-ego massage. "She's not feeling good about herself, and she's depressed," explained her lawyer William Ginsburg, who had told reporters "her libido" was suffering. "She's been imprisoned like a dog for four months, and she's angry at all the gossip writers who say trashy things about her. The press and gossip columnists are all snakes, always making things...
...indict Susan McDougal for criminal contempt before his Arkansas grand jury packs up and goes home this week, but she has already shown that she prefers ankle chains to testifying against the President. And although Starr indicted Clinton pal Webb Hubbell last week (along with his wife Suzanna, his lawyer and his accountant), it was only for alleged tax crimes that are typically handled as civil matters, which even some of Starr's supporters felt was a stretch.

And to indict her for lying about...
Roland Dumas had it all. Suave, wealthy and well connected, the silver-haired lawyer, art collector and bon vivant reveled in a life of power and influence. Picasso and Giacometti were his clients. His long list of female conquests included opera singers and models. His best friend was the late Socialist President Francois Mitterrand, who twice named him Foreign Minister and in 1995 appointed him President of the Constitutional Council, roughly equivalent to the U.S. Supreme Court, making Dumas France's fifth highest-ranking official. But that charmed life seemed on the verge of imploding last week when two French...
