President Clinton has one chance left to avoid the embarrassment of becoming the first sitting President to star in his own courtroom drama. Led by Robert Bennett, his lawyers have asked Judge Susan Webber Wright to dismiss Paula Jones' case. They say that while Jones' claim began with a single thread--that then Governor Clinton harmed her in 1991, when he allegedly exposed himself and asked for sex in a hotel room--it has since been embroidered into a garish tapestry of ancillary allegations intended to mortify. This week Jones' lawyers will respond to the motion and in doing...
...nothing else, Robert Benton's film Twilight is an ode to a fading brand of screen legends. Paul Newman plays Harry Ross, an alcoholic former detective in Los Angeles dependent on his employers, retired actors Jack and Catherine Ames (Gene Hackman and Susan Sarandon). Harry becomes involved in a murder investigation after Hackman sends him to deliver a package to a mysterious woman. The essential features of film noir are in place in Twilight, which dutifully follows nearly every single convention of the genre. The inconsistencies in the film could be forgivable if the film had any dramatic urgency. Fortunately...
...Campbell, alleges Clinton made sexual advances toward this string of women -- and then engaged in "a vast enterprise to suppress evidence" of his propositions.

LITTLE ROCK: There's a bunch of bad news for the Paula Jones team: Judge Susan Webber Wright has ruled that her decision to bar Lewinsky-related evidence from the case is permanent. The White House has made it clear that the President will not testify at the trial. And David Brock, the man who introduced the world to "a woman known only as Paula" in his infamous Troopergate story, has admitted he made a mistake -- not only in assaulting Clinton's character, but also in identifying the woman the then-governor supposedly had brought to his hotel room...
...realized that running would be very hard on his family, as he said later, or he saw that his race against Armey would be nasty and not necessarily successful, he wanted none of it. The next day, his face drawn with exhaustion, he stood before his wife, ex-Representative SUSAN MOLINARI, and said, "I can't do this, I can't do this, I can't do this." House Republicans met the news with gasps. "We're saddened," claimed Gingrich, who had begged Paxon not to challenge Armey but was stunned by the decision. "I understand how much public life...
