...advantage here in the curious behavior of her lawyer, William Ginsburg: change her story often enough, and she becomes useless to Starr's case. She says in private she had sex, denies it in her affidavit, admits it in her proffer and then backs away from that. Which version will Monica offer Starr's grand jury, and what on earth would they be inclined to believe...
...Jones now offers a more sinister version of the encounter. Building on her original complaint, she says Clinton tried to grope her crotch and then briefly blocked the door.

A reptilian James Cromwell and slick Kevin Spacey round out a fine cast and a finer tale. Could this...
...again with Haden's bluesy "Bay City," which leads into the centerpiece of the album, "La Pasionaria." The most extended performance on the album at 14 minutes, it also is the most ambitious in its incorporation of diverse musical idioms. Another Haden original, the mellow "Silence," and an appealing version of Ornette Coleman's "The Blessing" pass before Rubalcaba and company leave the audience with an impressive, incendiary rendition of Miles Davis' "Solar...
