Great celebrity photographers have a way of making their subjects feel loved, so when Monica Lewinsky slipped into a little black dress and danced barefoot in the Pacific for a Vanity Fair shoot with Herb Ritts, it was the next best thing to a seaweed wrap and full-ego massage. "She's not feeling good about herself, and she's depressed," explained her lawyer William Ginsburg, who had told reporters "her libido" was suffering. "She's been imprisoned like a dog for four months, and she's angry at all the gossip writers who say trashy things about...
...past, the public has rewarded stations for pursuing just this kind of story, though typically less bloody ones. "Usually the ratings shoot sky-high, and the viewers use their remote controls and zap from station to station. They watch them," says Perret. Explains Manhattan psychologist Steven Fishman: "A lot of people have pent-up emotions, so it's cathartic for them to observe such violent action." But, says Sissela Bok, an ethicist at Harvard: "That just shows that the lines between news and entertainment have become very blurred." Former TV news producer Derwin Johnson, a professor at the Columbia Graduate...
...explain why Pepper keeps pushing his wild-eyed theories, even after they have been shown to be fabrications. In his 1995 book, Orders to Kill: The Truth Behind the Murder of Martin Luther King, Pepper claimed that a team of U.S. Army snipers was standing by in Memphis to shoot King if a Mafia hit man hired by the government had missed.

Trouble is, Eidson is very much alive; he denies any involvement...
...appalling deaths of four innocent children and their courageous teacher in Jonesboro, Ark. [THE JONESBORO SHOOTINGS, April 6], remind us of the terrible price we all pay for the lax gun laws in our nation. We must look closely at children's access to firearms. Gun advocates repeat the mantra that if youngsters are properly trained in firearm use, they won't shoot people. The boys accused of the Jonesboro shootings were well trained, and they killed five people and wounded 10 others. You can teach kids how to use guns, but you can't train them...
Last week, she was frolicking on a Malibu beach at a Vanity Fair photo shoot. But now it looks as if the good times are over for Monica Lewinsky. Her courtroom bid to enforce the immunity deal she made with Ken Starr back in January has failed. In a sealed decision leaked to reporters Thursday, Chief U.S. District Judge Norma Holloway Johnson ruled the written suggestion -- immunity from prosecution in exchange for testimony -- was not actually a binding agreement. That leaves Starr free to make his next move: Either call Lewinsky before the grand jury, or simply indict...
