On this day in 1982, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial was dedicated in
Washington, DC. It attracts more than 5.6 million visitors each year.
Former Arkansas state employee Paula Jones (left) sued President
Bill Clinton for sexual harassment when he was governor, alleging
he exposed himself to her in a hotel room in 1991. The Jones suit,
which went all the way to the Supreme Court, was ultimately
dismissed by a judge on the grounds Jones could not show
damages. While it was on appeal, President Clinton agreed to
an out-of-court settlement on this day in 1998. He paid $850,000
without admitting liability.
