Unexpurgated Lewinsky tales may yet finish Clinton
Article Abstract:
There is speculation that Monica Lewinsky could reveal more details about her relationship with President Bill Clinton. Details are already common knowledge among journalists and there is speculation that they will be published, but the timing is uncertain. There is a gap between opinion poll measurements of approval of Clinton as president, which are favorable, and the less favorable views of Clinton's credibility in personal terms. There is also a majority in favor of dropping the Lewinksy case.

A doctor, defiant, shot dead for his beliefs by a lone abortion terrorist
Article Abstract:
A New York obstetrician, Dr Barnett Slepian, has been shot dead after having been a target for campaigners against abortion for over 10 years. The killing was condemned by New York's governor, George Pataki, and by some anti-abortion campaigners including Karen Swallow Prior, a Right to Life candidate for the deputy governorship of New York state. Her condemnation indicates that virulent sentiment against abortion is coming to be seen as more extreme in US politics.
