Nominees for high office these days are routinely required to bare their souls. But John Shepherd, designated last week as second in command at the Justice Department, must be the first who has offered to drop his pants. That suggestion came after a former bookkeeper on trial for embezzlement claimed that she had had a nine-month affair with him. The bookkeeper, named Denise Sinner (yes, really), said she knew Shepherd in intimate detail -- just check for a mole in his groin area.

Sinner, who last month was convicted of embezzling $147,000 from Shepherd's law firm in St. Louis, contended that Shepherd had encouraged her to take the money.

Several fellow Marine officers corroborate McCloskey's claim, and a letter from Robertson's father to Marine General Lemuel Shepherd expresses his pleasure that Pat "will get more training before engaging in combat duty in Korea." If the suit is settled before trial, Robertson may have to pay McCloskey's legal fees...
