...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...

...better the poll. That doesn't change just because it's only the opinion of the site's visitors, whose opinion shows up in the tallies. President Clinton's lofty national approval ratings in conventional, scientific surveys were definitely not reflected in TIME Daily's own polls -- a twist that caused our voters no end of consternation. But that's the Web's own "caveat surfer," and it's probably preferable to fielding calls from Gallup in the middle of dinner. No, the online polls are not indicative of popular opinion.

...Reagan High's coolest coeds dies swallowing a candy jawbreaker. To cover up this gaffe, bitch-on-heels Courtney (Rose McGowan, below, right) tries turning a geekette who knows about the death (Judy Evans Greer) into a fox goddess. A teen twist on the old Frankenstein-Pygmalion plot is as familiar as last week, when it was called She's All That. (And a decade ago, it was the evil-teen classic Heathers.) Writer-director Stein flirts with black humor but, alas, never goes all the way. As for McGowan, she has the buxom wantoness and smartly cruel mouth...
