...arguably, to activities which may be within the definition of "sexual relations" in the President's [Paula] Jones deposition, which is the excuse advanced [by the Office of the Independent Counsel].

OIC first gives the hard-core unemployed brush-up courses in English, math, dress and deportment, then trains them for specific jobs (welding, typing, data processing), many of which, local businessmen report, are actually there waiting to be filled. In 14 years, says Sullivan, OIC has graduated 400,000 trainees and placed 300,000 of them in jobs...
