President Clinton has given his first formal response to sexual harassment
charges by Paula Jones.

In court papers filed in Arkansas yesterday, the President asked a federal
judge to dismiss the lawsuit, saying he didn't proposition Jones and that he
doesn't even remember meeting her.
Jones claims the president made unwanted sexual advances towards her in a
hotel room in 19-91 when he was the Governor of Arkansas.

The parental notification law is in effect now thanks in part to Judge
Michael Luttig's ruling which blocked an injunction.
Yesterday, Luttig explained his decision in a 37- page ruling which BLASTED
Judge James Turk for his temporary injunction of the law Monday.
Luttig disagrees with Turk on every major provision of his ruling.
He writes that the status quo should be upheld until the constitutionality
of the law is decided-- and that status quo is "that which the People have
wrought, not that which unaccountable federal judges impose on them."
Planned Parenthood has appealed Luttig's ruling.
