Isikoff's Clinton

Weekly Standard Book Review
April 5/April 12, 1999

The Weekly Standard has a review of the Isikoff book. Sounds like it will be quite interesting with "fresh" material per the reviewer. The review mentions a call Isikoff received from another woman shortly after the Kathleen Willey story surfaced. Isikoff recounts the story, in part, as follows:

Later that week,I was sitting at my desk when the phone rang. A woman was on the line. You know that story you had in the magazine this week about the woman Clinton made sexual overtures to in the hideway office? she asked.

"Yes," I said. "What about it?"

"That's exactly the same thing that happened to me," she said. She paused. "It was pretty awful."

The story she told was chilling. She had met Clinton over the years at political events and would get invited to come see him at the White House when she was in Washington on business. Clinton's attention was "pretty flattering ....He's very charming." One day, about a year and a half before, she had gone by to see him and he had taken her into the hideaway office--the same one described in my article. They chatted. Clinton started getting physical trying to kiss her, touching her breasts. The woman said she was stunned. She had no idea how to respond. "I've never had a man take advantage of me like that," she said. "I haven't felt that way since high school."

As Clinton pressed himself on her, she said, she resisted--and finally pushed him away. She hesitated, and she said softly and with apparent discomfort. "I think he finished the job himself." The image lingered. The woman left the White House, humiliated and repulsed. Clinton acted as if nothing had happened.
