The American Spectator

MAGAZINE

Conservative monthly, founded 1967 by R. Emmett Tyrell at Indiana University.

The January 1994 issue included an article by David Brock reporting that an Arkansas state trooper claimed that then-governor Bill Clinton had screwed some woman 1991 "whom the trooper remembered only as Paula." The article generated a firestorm that gave rise to the Paula Jones lawsuit, the Ken Starr investigation, and the subsequent Lewinsky scandal.

In late 1997, billionaire conservative Richard Scaife gave $2.4 million for The American Spectator to launch what they called the "Arkansas Project" -- a four-year effort to dig up dirt on President Clinton.
