Amid the allegations and denials swirling around the President--and there were almost too many to count in the 700 pages of documents and depositions that lawyers for Paula Corbin Jones filed last Friday--there was one assertion both sides could agree on. "I have done everything I could," the President told Jones' lawyers in his Jan. 17 deposition, "to avoid the kind of questions you are asking me here today...
Bill Clinton should be happy that Paula Jones' sexual-harassment lawsuit against him won't be decided by the city attorney of little Murfreesboro, Tenn. It was there in 1995 that local artist Maxine Henderson exhibited some of her work in the city hall rotunda, including Gwen, a painting of a partly nude woman. A city employee saw the painting and was offended--so much so that she filed a sexual-harassment complaint against her employer. City attorney Tom Reed promptly whisked the painting away. Although a judge eventually ruled that Henderson had a First Amendment right to hang...
...Paula Jones too is asserting that Clinton's alleged pass at her created a hostile environment, but she may have a hard time proving it. The judge in the case has ruled that a single incident of harassment could be enough to create a hostile environment. But most experts agree that such an incident would have to be especially outrageous. "From what I've seen, [Jones] clearly doesn't have pervasiveness--it was just one incident--so she has to prove severity," says Deborah Epstein, who teaches law at Georgetown University. "And there are lots of things worse than this...
WASHINGTON: The last word belongs to Bob Bennett -- and it won't be an X-rated one. When his rebuttal to Paula Jones' 700-page document dump was released Friday, it did not contain ?sensitive material of a sexual nature? from Paula's past. Such a sex probe was suggested in a letter to Judge Susan Webber Wright. Jones claims her 1991 encounter with Clinton left her with an aversion to sex. Bennett calls that a "big joke" and wanted to prove otherwise -- which would have meant a lot of low blows from this prizefighter lawyer. But the letter...
...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...
