...into the Jones trial. Many of its revelations have been alleged or leaked before, and it contains no single blockbuster charge that will alter the outcome of the scandal. The President's lawyer Robert Bennett calls it "a pack of lies." It would be comforting to believe the matter is really that simple...
...account is a matter of great dispute, one likely to land the President's case in an Arkansas courtroom in May. But in truth the tangle of laws currently defining sexual harassment is so jumbled that even if everyone could agree on the facts, it's simply impossible to predict the outcome of a case like Jones v.

Or either cellist initiating, as Ma has, an ambitious series of six hour-long films inspired by Bach's six Suites for Unaccompanied Cello, involving collaborators as diverse as movie director Atom Egoyan, modern-dance choreographer Mark Morris, ice dancers Jayne Torvill and Christopher...
