...pining for the quiet life was part of his attempt to appear inoffensive, just a purveyor of evidence who is eager to retreat from Washington's partisan wars. And to the extent that he remained genial and G-rated throughout most of the day, mentioning the words sex and sexual only four times in his opening remarks and prefacing his comments deferentially with "you may disagree with me," or "I want to be fair," he succeeded.

She then dropped her demand for an apology, a key reason why earlier settlement talks had foundered. Last Friday, after negotiations complicated by a million-dollar sweetener from eccentric New York millionaire Abe Hirschfeld, Jones settled the case for $850,000--a tidy premium over the $700,000 she sought when she brought...
