This is Richmond's weekly rather toney style and all things cool newspaper.
Suing the President
Charlottesville lawyer John Whitehead reflects on how Paula Jones changed him, the lives of the Clintons and the course of history.
NEXT WEEK
Part 2: Kathleen Willey
For years a consciously low-key figure in the Clinton scandal, Richmond’s Kathleen Willey has emerged from her quiet home in Powhatan with a book, a movie appearance and a warning for Barack Obama. She’s telling her story, she says, as a cautionary tale for voters who may be considering Hillary Clinton.
On a winter day 10 years ago, while he was leaving his Charlottesville home to run weekend errands, John Whitehead suspected something was amiss.
“There were these guys in skinny ties and white shirts in a black van, looking me right in the eye,” he says.
Just as Jones struggled to cope with all the attention, so did her counsel.
“It was constant bombardment,” Whitehead says. “Reporters from all over the world would call me at all hours.
I remember at 4 a.m. … doing a remote broadcast from the Charlottesville airport for the ‘Today’ show and Matt Lauer saying, ‘I feel sorry for you.’ But you’ve got to stay aggressive.”http://www.styleweekly.com/article.asp?idarticle=16308
