...Monica's story is worth "maybe as much as a million," while Robert Gottlieb of the William Morris Agency puts the number in the low six figures. Larry Kirshbaum of Time Warner Trade Publishing is closefisted, saying, "I think we're all bimboed out." The supermarket tabloids are similarly split. The Star's Phil Bunton has a standing offer of $1 million to hear Lewinsky's story, while the Globe's Tony Frost has "scant interest." Meanwhile, right-wing publisher Regnery next week becomes the first with a pro-impeachment book, this one by commentator Ann Coulter...

Notes Kadlec: "A $200 stock price means Yahoo should split 4-for-1 to make it cheaper for small investors. Two-for-1 leaves the price too high for that at $100 -- they...
...girl trouble--most seriously Woodham, who was by all accounts "crushed," as a classmate told police, when Christina Menefee broke up with him. (Significantly, her father says Luke's mom was so overbearing she "drove them apart... If they went to get ice cream, she was there.") After the split, Luke testified at trial, "I didn't eat.
