...President's free fall that his own former chief of staff Leon Panetta told the San Jose Mercury News that if the allegations are true, it might be better "if Gore became President and you had a new message and a new individual up there. The worst scenario is if there's substance to it and it drags out." For their part, other leading Democrats were loudly silent...
...best case scenario, Lewinsky, a 21-year-old from a broken Beverly Hills family, lands a White House internship by working connections with a wealthy New York Democrat.

At the deposition, Jones' lawyers were also in a position...

They were there out of a sense of duty to the revolution.? An unusual scenario indeed, particularly in light of the media-driven perception of the Pope as anti-communist crusader who would serve as a magnet for opposition forces. ?Cuba is not Poland,? says Drummond. ?The Church here was always associated with the rich, many of whom went into exile in Miami...
