“Since the republic’s founding, strippers and porn actresses haven’t typically graced the narratives of America’s first families. Neither has hush money. Nor coke habits. Yet here we are. And I believe that much of the Sturm und Dreck of the current moment goes back to a time, precisely 30 years ago, when another pair of legal dramas preoccupied the nation. I am of the firm belief that those two eerily synchronous news events — in May and June of 1994 — would set off a tsunami of sex, scandal, shamelessness and baldfaced lying, the effects of which still ripple across the culture.” (06/27/24)
