...Kathleen Willey's appearance on 60 Minutes was supposed to be yet another turning point on Clinton's road to the doghouse. Instead, over the next couple of days, and even before the White House counterattack was fully under way, his poll numbers remained at record levels. In a new TIME/CNN survey conducted by Yankelovich Partners, the President's approval rating was 67%, just one notch below his personal high point in January, after he bounced back from the Monica Lewinsky scandal with an intrepid State of the Union speech.

Last spring Willey called Steele and asked her if Isikoff could come over to interview her. While Isikoff was on his way, Steele says, Willey called back and "told me exactly what to say." The directive: tell Isikoff the President had groped her on Nov. 29, 1993, and that Willey had rushed to Steele's house in the aftermath quite distraught. "I went along with it," Steele told TIME.
