...Then she had to rush over to the E! studios to work on her weekly show. At the same time, Mondale hired an acting coach and started auditioning for sitcoms again. And she began to be linked romantically to the Philadelphia-born billionaire Ron Perelman. Perelman was chairman of Revlon, and a friend to both Vernon Jordan and the President. In fact, he was one of Clinton's most dependable contributors, his mainline to Hollywood money. Like Eleanor, he was twice divorced; he was also extricating himself from a third marriage. In October, the New York Post spotted the pair...
...last December, he wasn't informed of tryst allegations until weeks after she was called as a possible witness in the Jones case. Still, over the course of a month Jordan secured interviews for her in New York City, where she ultimately nabbed a p.r. job offer from Revlon (later rescinded). At one point Jordan said he asked Clinton whether the allegations were true; Clinton said no. Jordan told the press that he gave Clinton regular updates about the job search's progress. Jordan's job search on Lewinsky's behalf echoed one he conducted for former Justice Department official...
...most accounts, Levin is the person for the job. He fixed cosmetics company Revlon in the early 1990s, and most recently was doing the same for outdoor-equipment company Coleman--both efforts on behalf of controlling shareholder Ronald Perelman. Levin's selection is no accident. On March 2, Perelman sold Coleman to Sunbeam in a stock swap, and he is now Sunbeam's second-largest investor, with a 13% stake. The largest is activist money manager Michael Price, who controls 17%. As a measure of how quickly Dunlap's career unraveled, Price only two weeks earlier had publicly, emphatically supported...
...listed Clinton's most trusted advisers--superlawyer Vernon Jordan and then U.S. Trade Representative Mickey Kantor--"to help." As in any good circumstantial case, McLarty's scrawl can be linked at least coincidentally to a result. Within weeks, Hubbell landed $100,000 in consulting work from Ron Perelman's Revlon as well as from Texas businessmen Bernard Rapoport and Truman Arnold. The Revlon job was facilitated by Jordan, he later acknowledged, foreshadowing Jordan's more famous landing of a Revlon job for Lewinsky this past January. McLarty told investigators that he and Jordan felt "empathic" toward Hubbell and moved quickly...
...figures in the 1996 campaign-finance scandal, such as the Riadys of Indonesia, whose $100,000 payment to the former Associate Attorney General was previously disclosed. Whatever Hubbell spills about another benefactor, VERNON JORDAN, could be of more interest. Jordan landed Hubbell $60,000 in consulting fees from Revlon, the same company he got to offer a job to Monica Lewinsky...
