...sticking point in the lease-renewal negotiations is not cost. Harvard admits it's had an inexpensive ride for the last 25 years, funding only the building's renovation and yearly operating costs. The issue is time. "We really need a long-term commitment," says Nancy L. Maull, administrative dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. But Radcliffe is hesitant to sign away the building for longer than five years. In the words of Carolyn Chamberlin, Radcliffe's director of communications, the building is "an asset that we have been unable to utilize for 25 years...
...usual suspects ? prosecutors familiar with the case ? told the Washington Post of a sudden burst of contact between Jordan and the former intern during December and January: Four meetings, a dozen phone calls and a ride in a chauffeured limo. That's circumstantial, but what the prosecutors claim is that Jordan expended all this energy to find Lewinsky a job at Revlon a mere three days after he learned she was to be a witness in the Paula Jones suit.

In the unorthodox agreement, Northwest will buy 14% of Continental's common shares--but 51% of the company's voting shares--effectively creating a domestic and international network to compete with megacarriers like United and American. The Continental shares are being sold by Air Partners, controlled by investor David Bonderman. Continental was operating on a wing and prayer five years ago when Air Partners and Air Canada (which since sold its shares) each invested...
...Lewinsky worked a few cubicles away from me in the basement of the Old Executive Office Building when we were both White House interns in the summer of 1995. For a month, we lived in the same apartment building, and on a couple of occasions she gave me a ride to work. She was at most a casual acquaintance and I had not seen or thought of her in the two and half years since I left the White House...
