Monica Lewinsky's name will likely find its way back into the headlines when PBS runs its two-part, four-hour documentary on former president Bill Clinton Monday night.
The documentary, titled "Clinton," is part of PBS' "American Experience" series and covers the domestic and international issues that marked Clinton's two-term presidency.
But it's what Clinton's closest advisors have to say about the president's 1998 affair with Lewinksy that may be of greater interest to many.
Among those interviewed are the former president's re-election campaign manager, Dick Morris, who recalls the moment Clinton confided in him about the affair.
"When the Lewinsky scandal broke, the President paged me and I returned the call," Morris says in this video preview clip. "He said, 'Ever since I got here to the White House I've had to shut my body down, sexually I mean, but I screwed up with this girl. I didn't do what they said I did, but I may have done so much that I can't prove my innocence."
Covering up the affair would ultimately lead the House of Representatives to bring impeachment charges of perjury and obstruction of justice against Clinton, who was acquitted after a 21-day televised Senate trial.
If you'd like to see more of the documentary before Monday, PBS has made part one available online.
Together with Faith Hill, and Brian McKnight, the duets of the CD are beautiful and warm. Josh Groban started out as a rehearsal singer which allowed him to practice singing in front of large crowds and even gave him the chance to sing with other famous singers. I know that the landscape of popular music is destined to continue changing, but I believe that musical acts like Josh Groban will be able to stay popular no matter what trend pops up next. The tracks of the album are as follows:
