...happen to be a young woman trying to extricate yourself from a sex scandal, one in which you face the real possibility of indictment, vamping in a photo spread for the nation's glossiest magazine might seem like a funny idea of favorable pretrial publicity. If you try it at all, you might want to stick to a simple outfit and a pensive expression, the kind of thing that says Innocence Under Siege. Then again, you might be Monica Lewinsky. In the July issue of Vanity Fair, which goes on newsstands this week, the world's most famous former White...
Stein, 73, is a former special prosecutor whose 1984 investigation of Ed Meese, then Ronald Reagan's Attorney General-designate, was wrapped up, in contrast to Starr's, with a minimum of time and expense.

He has had a role in nearly every scandal since Watergate, when he defended Attorney General John Mitchell (whose fee helped build Cacheris' tennis court). According to Washingtonian magazine, when CIA turncoat Aldrich Ames saw that Cacheris had agreed to be his court-appointed attorney, Ames beamed, "I was wondering what I was going to do for a lawyer. And I get Plato Cacheris!" Cacheris, 69, loves to be a player and earlier this year joked about being...
