I saw a really interesting interview with Dolly Kyle Browning on Deborah Norville's afternoon show, yesterday and today. She alleges a thirty-three year relationship with Billy, and she is not a bimbo, but a successful Dallas attorney. Here is her resume, if anyone is interested, and if you click around there are some magazine articles about her and the affair, etc. Her brother works at the White House, and what I found most interesting is that in 1992, after a tabloid found out about the relationship, Billy suddenly would not return her calls, but her brother called her back and said that if she did not deny the affair, she would be ruined. Does this sound at all familiar? deardolly.com

Seems the word is finally getting around, from the NYT: February 11, 1998 Kenneth Starr and His Watergate Star By WILLIAM GLABERSON WASHINGTON -- If there have not been enough reminders of Watergate lately, Kenneth Starr, the independent counsel, brought another one with him to court Tuesday morning. Starr's companion at the courthouse was Samuel Dash, a hero to pursuers of a different president, Richard M. Nixon. If Dash's presence alongside the embattled independent counsel was intended as an act of political symbolism, it was at least as blunt as any father-daughter picture from the White House. Dash, a Democrat who is now 72, was the chief counsel to the Senate Watergate Committee a quarter of a century ago and, because of television coverage of those hearings, something of a government integrity celebrity. Critics of Starr have suggested that he associates himself with Dash to cloak himself in the credibility of the Watergate inquiry. Tuesday, Dash looked older and balder than the last time he was on the national stage. But he still looked enough like the man in heavily framed glasses who used to whisper in the ear of the legendary chairman of the Watergate Committee, Sen. Sam Ervin Jr., to make a visual point for Starr. For students of Whitewater, Dash's appearance was not surprising. Since 1994, Dash has been a part-time ethics adviser to Starr, rendering opinions on the many assaults on Starr's fairness. Since he has always seemed to clear Starr of accusations against him, Dash has sometimes been ridiculed by Clinton's supporters. James Carville, one of those taking part in the White House's attack, has accused Dash of bringing a Mad magazine standard of ethics to Starr's investigation. Carville once said Dash was the "Alfred E. Neuman of ethics counselors. He doesn't worry about anything." Dash, a one-time Philadelphia district attorney who has been a law professor at Georgetown University Law Center for more than 30 years, has sometimes appeared uncomfortable as an ally of Starr. But, particularly when Starr has been under attack, Dash has defended him. In an interview two weeks ago he dismissed critics who said Starr was being too aggressive in pursuing the accusations involving Monica Lewinsky. "He's very rule-of-law oriented," Dash said of Starr. For Washington lawyers, that was tantamount to: He's a guy who can be trusted. It wasn't just what was said, though, it was who was saying it and about whom: the famous former Watergate counsel about the besieged Whitewater independent counsel. nytimes.com
