...honor of the scandal's only victor, a celebration that doesn't appear smug. Who better than Hillary to fill the media vacuum left by That Woman? And what better way to create a diversion from the ongoing Clintonian sleaze watch, including the newly published allegation of a Clinton sexual assault in 1978 and the possibility that Judge Susan Webber Wright will hold him in contempt for his testimony in the Paula Jones case? For the White House staff, Hillary for Senate is a much needed balm. "Whether it's serious or not," says Clinton spokesman Joe Lockhart...
Just when the air was clearing in Washington--when politicians were finally putting aside the presidential sex scandal and moving on to Social Security and tax cuts--another woman has come forward alleging sexual misconduct by Bill Clinton. Corroboration is scant, the White House denials are emphatic, but this tale has an unpleasant new twist: it is a charge of sexual assault...
Reporters have been chasing her story at least since the 1992 presidential campaign, but Broaddrick has always refused to talk. In March 1998 she was referred to as Jane Doe No. 5 in Paula Jones' sexual-harassment case, having earlier submitted an affidavit denying the "rumors and stories" surrounding herself and Clinton.

But now women are encouraged to be like men, and what a mess it is. The refined has been replaced by the vulgar, and sex has become just the thing you do on the third...
...book has touched a nerve in a society overdosed on sex and emerging from a most immodest year of sexual scandal. (Is it any surprise that sweeter days of swing dancing and Shakespeare are all the rage?) Shalit defends, at times compellingly, shame, privacy, gallantry and sexual reticence, if not virginity until marriage. Without these, she says, women have lost power, consigned to "dreary hookups" or sexual violence. "We want our 'feminine mystique' back," she writes, "and with it male honor." Sitting in a Manhattan restaurant, modestly attired in dark tights and a calf-length, buttoned-up olive shirtwaist...
