...affair, the President and first lady have also raked in $2 million in the last six months for their legal defense fund, according to White House officials. Compare that with the $1.3 million the Clintons spent three-and-a-half years scraping together for Whitewater costs. What's their secret? Relaxed limits on contributions -- not to mention direct mailing that invokes Starr's name. "You can either run an ethical fund, or you can raise money," says TIME Washington correspondent Jay Branegan. "Clinton's tried the first, now he's trying the second...

Offstage, Robbins was a self-made enigma who gave interviews rarely and only on his own terms, meaning no personal questions. Though his homosexuality was an open secret, he never discussed it in public, going so far in 1951 as to become engaged to the ballerina Nora Kaye. (They never married. Interestingly, he cast her as the novice man killer in The Cage.) It took a subpoena to get him to talk about his private life: he testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1953 about his involvement with a communist group of the '40s, naming eight other...
