...Hotel in 1991, her career with the state of Arkansas was roadblocked. But the filing may do even more to help explain the leads independent counsel Kenneth Starr is pursuing as he tries to build a broader obstruction case against Clinton in the matter of Monica Lewinsky. For a scandal-weary public trying to make sense of it all, the Clinton depicted in these documents is a chilling character indeed: not the charming rogue of Primary Colors, but a clumsy and compulsive sexual operator who gropes women like Kathleen Willey when they come to him in distress, who feels free...
...experts say, a flawed legal document, with assertions not backed up by sworn statements and allegations that will never make it into the Jones trial. Many of its revelations have been alleged or leaked before, and it contains no single blockbuster charge that will alter the outcome of the scandal. The President's lawyer Robert Bennett calls it "a pack of lies." It would be comforting to believe the matter is really that simple...
...goal of shedding light on the too-long-neglected world of early Hollywood gay life and culture.

...Another change from January: The GOP leadership are daring to talk about this scandal openly. "I found her credible," opined Trent Lott. "I watched the body English and listened to what she had to say." If that kind of talk continues in Congress, Clinton may have to go to the next stage of denial: Ignore it and act Presidential. And with trips to Africa, China and England coming up over the next few months, he'll have plenty of opportunity to do just that...
