If the tapes are correct--and Bill Clinton, of course, says they are not--the President of the United States is a sexual predator. The story line is boy-meets-girl, with a twist. The boy is 50 years old, married, and the most powerful and famous man in the world; the girl is by many definitions still a girl, a few years older than his daughter: 21, fresh from college, away from home, working for him without pay at her first real...

WASHINGTON: ?It?ll go away. It?ll pass. The President will remain in office,? said William Ginsburg, Monica Lewinsky?s lawyer, on his unprecedented sweep of all five major Sunday talk shows.

Now, however, with the President?s approval rating hitting a new high of 68 percent, and 58 percent of those polled wanting Ken Starr to halt his investigation of Lewinsky, two words are being whispered across America: It?s over...
