Article Abstract:
Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz repeatedly denounces lawyer Robert Bennett's representation of Pres Bill Clinton in Paula Jones' sexual harassment claim in his book "Sexual McCarthyism."

Criticisms include that Bennett walked the president into a perjury trap by permitting testimony about his sex life in the Jones deposition.
