...evidence in a lawsuit brought by a woman who claims she was sexually harassed at the gathering, a federal judge has ruled. The ruling found that the report was based on hearsay and is not trustworthy enough to be used in the courtroom. "This is a blow for Navy Lieut. Paula Coughlin (who has filed the lawsuit)," says TIME Pentagon correspondent Mark Thompson. "You came away from the report thinking she was completely the victim."

As Vice Chief of Naval Operations, Arthur...
...primary training, Hansen, now 27, was assigned a flight instructor who routinely made remarks so inappropriate Roseanne would have a hard time brushing them off. Lieut. Larry Meyer called Hansen a "wench," advised her to wear a pink bikini and dye her hair, and turned required discussions, such as one on friction, into running sexual jokes. Hansen let it pass, she says, until one day when he grabbed her by the hair, forced her head down to his groin (a witness says he only saw her head go down as far as Meyer's chest) and said, "this...
