Women Linked to Clinton, and Hillary didn't know?

Some have capitalized on their notoriety, some have sought to avoid the
spotlight and at least one has laughed it off.
They are the dozen or so women who have been linked romantically in
print with President Clinton.
              As perhaps befits the subject , several of the women have
gone on to pose nude in magazines--two in Penthouse, two in Playboy. A
fifth, Paula Jones, who claims she was the object of an unsolicited
advance by Clinton, also found herself pictured in Penthouse after a
former boyfriend sold photographs to the magazine without Jones'
permission.
              At the other end of the spectrum are women who have denied
that anything improper happened between themselves and Clinton.
              Probably nobody has squashed the story with more panache
than Deborah Mathis, formerly a columnist with the Arkansas Gazette, now
with Gannett News Service.
              If she had slept with Clinton, Mathis once said, "he'd
still be smiling."
              Last week, as the story involving Clinton and former White
House intern Monica Lewinsky broke, Mathis said the story was a
legitimate one for her press colleagues to pursue.
              "It does seem that the press is out of control, chasing
people who aren't even running,"
               Mathis said. "But under the circumstances, this is a
sitting president and (these allegations) fly in the face of what we
expect of him. Any past obligation to overlook behavior like that is
gone."
               But Mathis also said mere allegations aren't proof
"I know first hand about how it is to be lied [about] ," she said. "I
know what that's like. I was unequivocally lied about. No question about
it."
               Actually, more than a dozen women have been linked to
Clinton in web sites on the Internet and other venues, but these are the
ones, other than Mathis, Lewinsky and Jones, whose names have made their
way into the mainstream media:
               Gennifer Flowers announced in 1992, during the
presidential campaign, that she had a 12-year affair with Clinton,
starting in 1980. Flowers was a singer in a Little Rock club. Clinton
denied the affair but said he had caused pain in his marriage.
               Flowers has written a book detailing affairs with married
men. She has given graphic accounts of her sex life and posed nude in
Penthouse magazine.
               Recently on CNN's Larry King Live, she claimed Clinton
could be reckless. She said he once wanted to have sex with her at the
governor's mansion while his wife Hillary Clinton was on the lawn
outside, only a few feet away.
               In November 1997, Flowers spent seven hours giving a
deposition in the Jones case.
               Kathleen Willey is a former White House aide who Linda
Tripp reportedly ran into as Willey left a meeting with Clinton in the
Oval Office in 1993. Willey's lipstick was smeared and her clothes
disheveled. And she reportedly said she had just had some type of sexual
encounter with Clinton.
               Willey, 51, testified under oath before Jones' lawyers
about the incident, which allegedly occurred in a small room off the
Oval Office.
               Susan McDougal, along with her ex-husband Jim, were
partners with Bill and Hillary Clinton in a real estate venture called
the Whitewater Development Corp. when Clinton was governor.
               In May 1996, Starr's investigation of the venture
resulted in four felony convictions of fraud and conspiracy for Susan
McDougal. Also convicted of felonies were Jim McDougal and former Gov.
Jim Guy Tucker.
               Susan McDougal has been incarcerated since U.S. District
Judge Susan Webber Wright found her in contempt of court in September
1996. McDougal is refusing to answer questions before
the Whitewater grand jury, including whether Clinton told the truth when
he testified he did not know about a fraudulent $300,000 loan.
               James McDougal has claimed that his ex-wife had an affair
with Clinton. In a New Yorker magazine article, he said he accidentally
overheard an "intimate" phone conversation between
the two in 1982.
               Susan McDougal has denied ever having an affair with
Clinton.
               Sally Perdue is a former Miss Arkansas who has claimed
she had a four-month affair with Clinton in 1983. She went on the Sally
Jessy Raphael television show with her claims in 1992.
               She also posed for Playboy.
               She once said in a Wall Street Journal article that she
was harassed, threatened and offered a federal job in exchange for her
silence about the affair.
               She ran for mayor of Pine Bluff in 1984, but lost.
               Dolly Kyle Browning is a Dallas lawyer who went to high
school with Clinton in Hot Springs and recently wrote a novel, Purposes
of the Heart, which she said is based on her
three-decade-long relationship with the president.
               Connie Hamzy, a sometime teacher and political candidate,
is better known as "Sweet,Sweet Connie," a rock 'n' roll groupie
immortalized in the song "We're an American Band" by
Grand Funk Railroad.
               She told Penthouse magazine that she and Clinton had sex
in the mid 1980s at a North Little Rock hotel.
               In the book Hell's Belles, A Tribute to the Spitfires,
Bad Seeds & Steel Magnolias of the New and Old South by Alabama writer
Seale Ballenger, Hamzy is quoted as saying, "I may be a slut, but I'm no
liar."
               Elizabeth Ward is an Arkansas native who won the Miss
America contest in 1982 and appeared in Playboy a decade later. While
Ward never claimed to have had an affair with
Clinton, the timing of her magazine spread did little to quell rumors
that such a relationship was possible.
               Bobbie Ann Williams has been linked to Clinton in tabloid
accounts. She's claimed to have given birth to Clinton's illegitimate
son after the two had sex when she was a Little Rock
prostitute.
               Lencola Sullivan, another former Miss Arkansas, denies
published reports of an affair with Clinton while he was governor.
               Sheila Lawrence, widow of the late U.S. ambassador to
Switzerland, has been subpoenaed to testify in the Jones case about
allegations she had an affair with Clinton. She denies it.
