Nation IN BRIEF : WASHINGTON, D.C. : Insurers Cover Part of Clinton Legal Bills
From Times Staff and Wire Reports

But the president is still going broke over legal troubles, they said. Two insurance companies paid Washington lawyer Robert S.

Clinton’s staggering Whitewater bills are not covered, aides said.
