...thing that could be useful for the White House is that in sharp distinction to the Los Angeles-based Ginsburg, Cacheris and Stein are the very definition of well-connected Washington insiders--so well connected, in fact, that their friends and former partners are representing other figures in the case. For instance, John Hundley, a Cacheris legal partner who will help him with the Lewinsky case, is the son of Vernon Jordan's lawyer Bill Hundley--who also used to be partners with Cacheris.

Henson was a kind, infinitely patient man. Those who worked for him say he literally never raised his voice. Frank Oz, the puppeteer behind Bert, Miss Piggy and many others, was Henson's partner for 27 years. "Jim was not perfect," he says. "But I'll tell you something--he was as close to how you're supposed to behave toward other people as anyone I've ever known...
