...Within the narrower context of the trial, it's at least clear that somebody's lying. Steele says she didn't hear about the alleged grope until 1997, when Newsweek wanted her to corroborate Willey's story.

While high school seniors are 200 times more likely to get into Harvard than to be murdered in their school, according to Newsweek, over 57% of Americans think that something like the Colorado murders could happen in their childrens high school.

In the meantime, the former $60,000-a-year communications consultant is hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt and fears losing her house in a few months. Starr, for his part, went on Larry King's show last week and complained that the worst thing about his job is that...
