...cases of alleged sexual harassment--so painful, so private, so often unknowable--Americans have grown accustomed to weighing the word of one defendant against that of one plaintiff, the steadfast denial against the angry accusation: he said, she said. But last week, in the matter of Jones v. Clinton, the accusers avalanched on the accused. Once, twice, three times now, a woman has sworn under oath that she had one or more sexual encounters with Bill Clinton and then got pressured to cover it up; each time the President has denied the charge. In each case someone is lying...
...advances at Little Rock's Excelsior Hotel in 1991, her career with the state of Arkansas was roadblocked. But the filing may do even more to help explain the leads independent counsel Kenneth Starr is pursuing as he tries to build a broader obstruction case against Clinton in the matter of Monica Lewinsky.

Says Tom Baker, the site's business director, "I was at a conference a couple of weeks ago, and everybody was hooting at them...
They tried to kill Cinderella in Indiana this year. For 86 years, the Hoosier State's high school basketball tournament was winner-take-all, no matter how big the team or how small. Not now: Some geniuses decided that it would be more sporting to break the tourney into divisions, based on school size. David vs. David, Goliath vs. Goliath. No more Bobby Plump, whose buzzer-beater in 1954 gave tiny Milan High (enrollment 161) the state title and a hallowed place in local legend...
