...relationship with Miss Lewinsky that was "not appropriate." His public comments and his silence gave "a false impression." He regrets this. He used the lawyerly locutions of one who is using words not to reveal but to conceal. He could not resist the self-indulgent--he was the victim of questions raised "in a politically inspired lawsuit which has since been dismissed." He meant to show conviction and instead revealed arrogance--"It's nobody's business but ours...
...next summer, however, everything was going to be different. I was on my way to a fancy (though unspeakably boring) publishing internship and felt eons away from the emotional frailties that plagued me during the PBH summer. And once again, I fell victim to many things I didn't know: High heels, cute as they may look, are not comfortable if you're walking in them for more than five minutes. Garbage does not take itself out. Having a T-pass in the summer will get you out of the house like never before. Staying up all night creating...
...characters, Tripp is the hardest to embrace, especially when she insists on painting herself as a victim. Anyone in her position, she contends, would have started taping after being asked to lie under oath, which is news to me.

Tripp's "I am you" speech was similar to the one given earlier in the day by another misunderstood victim, Mike Tyson. He wanted the New Jersey Athletic Control Board to know that biting off Evander Holyfield's ear hurt him deeply--although Tyson's ear is just fine while Holyfield's needed surgery. Similarly, Tripp would have us believe that everything she did hurt her more than it hurt Monica. Now that Monica is accusing her for the first time--of helping to write the talking points--she may actually find out what being accused of a felony...
Appeal to a higher court, Laura Blankman! It's time for the legal system to realize that "family" means more than just blood and race relations. Let's not allow technicalities to endanger this young boy's life. I'm sure Latrena Pixley was a victim of abuse and needs healing, but not at Cornilous' expense. It's obvious Pixley remains an unfit mother. WENDY LAM Carlsbad, Calif...
