IN SEARCH OF A LEGACY:Clinton book conflicts with his testimony:Proves Starr's prosecutors were right to accuse him of lying

In his new book, President Clinton's account of when his sexual relationship began with Monica Lewinsky conflicts with his grand jury testimony.

The disparity is significant because independent counsel Kenneth Starr's prosecutors had accused Clinton of lying about the date in order to avoid admitting he had a relationship with an intern, the Washington Post reports.

In his August 1998 grand jury testimony, Clinton said the relationship began in "early 1996," after Lewinsky had been hired for a paying job.

Lewinsky testified it began Nov. 15, 1995, during a government shutdown.

Clinton's memoir, without explanation, conflicts with his grand jury testimony and corroborates Lewinsky's version.

"During the government shutdown in late 1995, when very few people were allowed to come to work in the White House, and those who were there were working late, I'd had an inappropriate encounter with Monica Lewinsky and would do so again on other occasions between November and April, when she left the White House for the Pentagon."

The Post said Clinton aides could not explain the discrepancy. The former president's attorney, David Kendall, was traveling and did not return a call to the paper.

In a recorded interview to be broadcast online today by the BBC, Clinton reacted angrily to questions about his affair with Lewinsky.

This post was fantastic. I guess it would be hard to explain that to your sons.... I don't know how I would have done it. I am way past that time. When I watch TV I am just amazed at what goes. We practically had to wear evening dresses with high collars when I was growing up.

No one wanted her bust to show through anything. We were all embarrassed by anything. Sex was not even discussed except at the all girl camp where we all shared what we had HEARD . I laugh now when I think of some of the misconceptions.... Getting pregnant was sitting on a man's lap kind of stuff.

Thanks for the post. I enjoyed and agree.
