...with Paula Jones. The Rutherford Institute, a legal-advocacy group he founded to fight discrimination against religious believers, has taken up Jones and her claim that Clinton made a crude sexual advance toward her six years ago, when he was Arkansas Governor. When Jones' team of lawyers recently quit after she rejected a settlement offered by the President's attorneys, it was Whitehead's group that hooked Jones up with her present attorney. And thanks mainly to Rutherford's generous funding--Whitehead estimates its share of her court costs could add up to $200,000--Jones has been able...

She and her fiance Jason, 25, nest through weekends; a hot outing is likely to be a visit to a coffee bar with friends. This whole nesting thing, she says, "is about a simple question--What do I do that would make me happy?" She pauses as the sounds of ringing bells and laughing children rise.
