Janice and All,
I see the personal secretary as being The Three Monkeys incarnate, if you will. A secretary is necessarily privy to more sensitive personal information than would even a person's physician or attorney. The secretary literally is an extension of the employer.
With that in mind, to go after Clinton's personal secretary is contemptible. And yes, I believe Mrs. Currie could have said any number of other things and still have been 100% truthful. Truth is, after all, usually embellished by ones own perceptions, and I am reasonably sure Mrs. Currie is not an exception in this regard.
In days past, lawyers and, to some extent, physicians did not disclose privileged information, and the laws largely supported them. In recent days, the rules of discovery have changed, at least in California. Here, an attorney is now required to share all knowledge with the other side. Physicians have like crosses to bear. Obviously, this is not as it should be. If my perception of California's rules of discovery are erroneous, I am sure one of the California attorneys will set me straight. <vbg>
