Paula Jones to Dow Jones
Conforming to the popular belief that Americans care more about Dow Jones, not Paula Jones, the New York stock index soared within four points of a record breaking 9000 as President Clinton returned on Thursday night from an Africa tour minus the burden of a sexual harassment suit that hung like an albatross around his presidency. But it was a different number for The New York Post -- and the rest of the American press. Having feasted on the sex scandals dogging the President for years, the media let out a collective groan as it became evident the Jones case was being laid to rest.

Out of Africa
Speaking on an island that once served as a slave trade centre, President Bill Clinton recalled on Thursday that the journey to America had been anything but a search for freedom for some of the nation's early arrivals. Goree was a key transit point in the slave trade between Africa and the Americas. "Long after the slave ships stopped sailing from this place to America, Goree Island still today looks out on to the new world, connecting two continents, standing as a vivid reminder that for some of America's ancestors, the journey to America was anything but a search for freedom," Clinton said.

Sex on a platter
Thinking of going on a diet.... again? Well, don't. At least not until you've read a new anti-diet book by Dr Deanna Jepson called Eat Orgasmically And Still Lose Weight -- for she proposes quite a different way of leaving all that seasonal self-loathing behind. Jepson, a former GP who runs seven private eating disorder clinics in the north of England, is herself quite a tonic. At 57 she is so effervescent that you feel more lively just listening to her talk. And how she talks ... about food, about sex and about how our appetite for food is like our desire for sex -- we frustrate it at our peril.
