...were meant to test the troopers' credibility, Starr associates say. There's ample reason to doubt the officers. Two of the troopers admitted lying about a car accident. And in an affidavit obtained by TIME, trooper Ronald Anderson says three of his colleagues were given a contract by Arkansas lawyer Cliff Jackson guaranteeing them jobs paying $100,000 annually for seven years in return for making allegations in December 1993 that they arranged and covered up Clinton dalliances. Jackson, a longtime Clinton opponent, denies the story...

Covering all the legal bases, the filing said that even if Clinton did meet...
Eventually, Moore found himself talking to a fellow lawyer--RJR's CEO Steven Goldstone, who before taking over the company was its general counsel and a litigator at the New York law firm of Davis Polk & Wardwell. Negotiated settlements were not unknown to him, and Moore had made it clear that the talks could not proceed without tobacco's top officers. Goldstone soon persuaded Philip Morris CEO Geoffrey Bible to have a sit-down with the opposition...
