...means free of contradiction or conundrum. Starr's investigators have heard conflicting testimony about her state of mind after the Clinton encounter. According to Linda Tripp, who claims to have encountered Willey after she left the Oval Office that day, she seemed "flustered" but "happy." When Newsweek's Michael Isikoff was pursuing her story last year, Willey put him in touch with a friend, Julie Steele, who first said Willey had confided in her the night of the encounter, then recanted and said Willey had asked her to lie to support Willey's account. Through her lawyer, Steele told TIME...
WASHINGTON: Kathleen Willey is talking again. The former Democratic volunteer, who has gone into hiding since her "60 Minutes" interview last Sunday, broke her weeklong vow of silence to complain to Newsweek that the White House was "trying to make me look like a wacko." Of those letters she wrote to President Clinton after the alleged groping incident, she said: "I had made a decision that I was going to put that incident behind me...

If you mix the primary colors red, yellow and blue, the result is black. But this is no black comedy. It is a wistful story, about honor (Nichols says) and (we say) about the joy and pain of an idealist's love. Cagily, it asks big, brutal questions. What will we do for someone we love...
...There are questions from the other side, too. Why, as Newsweek reports, did Democratic fund-raiser Nathan Landow fly Willey in to his estate for a two-day visit after she was subpoenaed by Paula Jones' lawyers? Landow, who has raised some $600,000 for Clinton and Al Gore over the years, told TIME his only comment was "she should do what she felt was best for her." All in all, a very tangled set of allegations -- and whether true or not, there's little comfort for a President who professes himself "mystified and disappointed...
