...feminist struggle seems to be a good place to start looking for an answer, in part because we expect worthy causes to have equally noble proponents, in part because feminists are currently caught up in presidential politics. In the wake of the Clinton-Jones-Lewinsky-Willey debacle, feminists have been charged with crawling into bed with the President (metaphorically, of course), and with being reluctant to get out as long as their interests are being served. In response to the claim that feminists have been hypocritical for continuing to support Clinton through these scandal-ridden months, the founder...
These days the President does not just fend off attacks. He absorbs them and grows stronger. A week ago Sunday night, the White House was braced for its worst week since Monica One. Kathleen Willey's story of Clinton's groping her near the Oval Office was widely known, so the fear was not a matter of new details emerging in her 60 Minutes interview.

Of those letters she wrote to President Clinton after the alleged groping incident, she said: "I had made a decision that I was going to put that incident behind me... I'm allowed to make that choice...
...special investigation, TIME magazine reported that Willey has a record of telling tales to get back at boyfriends. According to several sources, the Virginia socialite told her lover Shaun Docking that she was pregnant with his twins. This was followed by an aborted abortion and a miscarriage -- all of which were fabrications, claims Willey's friend of 20 years, Julie Steele. There's so much doubt in D.C. about Willey's story that even Anita Hill has chimed in against her. ?We aren?t talking about sexual harassment,? said Hill. No word yet on a final book deal...
