In trying to defuse a motion by Clinton's lawyers to dismiss the case, the Jones team is doing pretty good PR work for Ken Starr. If the public mind is primed to the idea that Clinton was a coldhearted predator who passed out career boosts to buy the silence of his victims, it can only help the independent counsels case. Jones team would like to prove that their client was brave enough to resist Clinton's ham-fisted advances, and as a result had her own career crushed under the gubernatorial thumb. The tricky part: While Starr can point to Revlon interviews for Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones has yet to prove -- despite pound after pound of court filings -- that she ever lost anything more serious than Secretarys Day flowers.
