...questions for Lindsey will concern the list of "talking points" that Lewinsky allegedly gave Linda Tripp in mid-January, shortly before Tripp was scheduled to give a deposition in the Paula Jones case. Tripp had apparently been summoned to talk about the 1993 episode in which she saw Kathleen Willey, a White House volunteer, not far from the Oval Office with her lipstick smeared and her blouse untucked. The talking points offered Tripp guidance on what to say and invited her to change her story...
...origins of the talking points remain a big mystery, but Starr may have good reason to press Lindsey under oath. Tripp and Lindsey once worked together; she was his executive assistant for three months in 1993. And the two had evidently discussed the sensitive Willey matter before: A source close to Tripp told TIME last week that Tripp had tried to reach Lindsey in the summer of 1997 to let him know that reporters were snooping around the Willey incident. Lindsey at first did not return Tripp's phone call, partly because he regarded her as untrustworthy. But later...
Attorneys for Paula Jones today received a second subpoena from independent prosecutor Ken Starr asking for any depositions, sworn statements or pleadings related to Kathleen Willey, Monica Lewinsky and other "Jane Does." The Office of the Special Prosecutor is, in effect, asking for all of the Jones team's research into other women alleged to have been involved with the President...

Again, we must believe Clinton's legalistic denial of Jones' allegations was true, though he only said he and Jones were "never alone together in the hotel" (but what about the hotel room?). We must believe Kathleen Willey smeared her own make-up and ruffled her own clothes and then lied about Clinton kissing and fondling her. We must believe Linda Tripp also lied about Willey's appearance and demeanor after the alleged event...
Already a gossip, Tripp was now doubtless more attuned than ever to tattles she could tell. And she had a juicy one. In 1993 she had bumped into Kathleen Willey just as the Virginia socialite was emerging, rather bedraggled, from the alleged Oval Office grope session. Tripp told that tale to Newsweek last summer (see related story). And of course Tripp made another friend--Monica Lewinsky, who worked in the same Pentagon office. The more Tripp heard during their chats, the more it sounded to her that America had no idea how far Clinton could go, even after the Willey...
