The Clinton War on Women

Clintons also waged war on her reputation. Ms. Lewinsky “was known as ‘the Stalker,’” Mr. Clinton told adviser Sidney Blumenthal on Jan. 21, 1998, according to Mr. Blumenthal’s grand jury testimony. Mr. Clinton added that she “came at me and made a sexual demand on me,” but the President “rebuffed her” and the lowly intern then “threatened him.” This smear quickly became a talking point of Clinton defenders. Gene Lyons, a Clinton media mouthpiece, told NBC that “the President was, in a sense, a victim of someone rather like the woman who followed David Letterman around.” The Associated Press reported that a “White House aide” was calling journalists to offer “information about Monica Lewinsky’s past, her weight problems, and what the aide said was her nickname—‘the Stalker.’” Mr. Blumenthal denies that he spread the Stalker tale, but the late journalist Christopher Hitchens swore in an affidavit that he had. It broke up their friendship. Mrs. Clinton described Ms. Lewinsky as “a narcissistic loony toon,” according to the personal papers of Diane Blair, a close friend of Mrs. Clinton from Arkansas. This September Mrs. Clinton declared that “every survivor of sexual... http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-clinton-war-on-women-1451432109

Farrell: Reminders of Bombay Social Club crop up in Singleton Beach flower beds

Moore usually began cooking at 10 a.m. "He was one of the best cooks. We had a great time there," a former patron named Sidney told me. Sidney asked that I not use his last name because he didn't want to "get caught up in the politics." "I'm integration, baby," he told me. Among Sidney's favorite Bombay dishes were Moore's fried chicken, deviled crab and hamburgers. "They had a menu. Everything on it was good." Were there bloody Marys? "No, no, no, no, no," he laughed. "Nothing like that." Sidney said Moore was known for keeping the peace. "There were very little fights (there)," he said. The Beaufort County Sheriff's Office would have to disagree, of course. In May 1997, deputies were attempting to make an arrest after a shooting near the club at 3 a.m. when a group of 50 club-goers charged them. Four deputies were hospitalized after being kicked and stomped. "We are going to clean the club up, even if it means putting the club out of business," southern division commander Capt. Darryl Butler said at the time. Moore pointed out that the melee did not happen in the club or on his property. "I don't know anything about what happened down the road from my club," he said.
