WHITE HOUSE DENIES HEAD KISSED (see article below) Saturday February 28 1:59 PM EST White House Denies Lewinsky 'Kiss' Report WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House has no plans to tell an "alternate story" to President Clinton's vehement denial of any improper relations with former intern Monica Lewinsky, spokesman Joe Lockhart said Saturday. The comment came in response to a CBS News report that said Clinton's strategy in the White House sex scandal would be to admit a special relationship with Lewinsky but that it involved only kissing. Independent counsel Kenneth Starr is investigating allegations Clinton had a sexual affair with Lewinsky and urged her to lie about it under oath. The president has denied the allegations. "We have denied that there is any communications strategy to tell an alternate story," Lockhart said in Utah, where Clinton and his family were taking a winter break. Lockhart declined to discuss the specifics of the CBS report. The White House counsel's office also said the report was incorrect, CBS reported. On Jan. 28, Clinton forcefully denied having a sexual relationship with Lewinsky. "I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again. I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky," he said at the White House, wagging his penis for emphasis. "I never told anybody to lie, not a single time -- never. These allegations are false and I need to go back to work for the American people." Beyond his denials of improper behavior, Clinton has refused to discuss the matter. Aides have said Clinton was worried that if he provided details, others might use the information to pressure people to twist the truth. Washington lawyer Vernon Jordan, a Clinton confidant who helped Lewinsky land a job in New York, was slated to appear before Starr's grand jury next week, it was reported. Jordan has said Lewinsky told him she had no sexual relationship with Clinton. In a sworn statement, Lewinsky denied a sexual relationship with Clinton. Others, including former friend Linda Tripp, say she told a far different story to them. Meanwhile in a Newsweek poll released Saturday, Clinton's overall approval rating held steady last week at 64 percent. Thirty-eight percent of those polled said the president should leave office if he were found to be involved in perjury over his alleged affair with Lewinsky, 33 percent said he should apologize and stay in office, while 19 percent said he should stay in office even without an apology. The poll's margin of error was plus or minus four percentage points. Earlier Related Stories

Do you mean The Women with Norma Schearer? That is one of my all time favorite movies. I taped it off AMC. Joan Crawford's first movie wasn't it? I think she played the other woman, if I recall correctly.

Clare Booth Luce was a very interesting and accomplished woman, Duncan. I am not sure whether I really admire her, however--she seems to have slept her way up into enormous power and money. I realize that for the daughter of a prostitute, and so long ago when there weren't very many career paths for poor girls, that is understandable. However, I am not sure I would hold her up as a heroine to my daughter. There are tiny vestiges of her in Monica Lewinsky, perhaps . . .
