...shocked and disappointed by your unprofessional coverage of the arraignment of Joshua M. Elster '00 (News, Feb. 3). With so many important facts confidential, your articles resemble the Monica Lewinsky coverage in the news. I'm angry without knowing whether my anger is unfounded, and I'm confused because the only thing I'm sure about is that Elster has not gotten a fair trial on campus. Your personality account, like your entire coverage, is vague. I'm not sure what to make of an anonymous student who says that Elster was "very good at making people feel uncomfortable...

My own involvement in this story is testimony to what few sources the media really has to help them determine the relevant facts. Monica Lewinsky worked a few cubicles away from me in the basement of the Old Executive Office Building when we were both White House interns in the summer of 1995. For a month, we lived in the same apartment building, and on a couple of occasions she gave me a ride...
...Some things never change. Both Leno and Letterman took a pass on Karla Faye, preferring instead to do their silliloquies on what Letterman has been calling "The Monica Lewinski White House Sex Scandal Gate." Among Dave's throw-aways: "While you were having sex" pink message pads from the Oval Office...
