Former intern Alison Bracewell recalls the Clinton Lewinsky scandal as tiresome and intrusive. She notes she knew Monica Lewinsky only casually and did not attend the pizza party. Bracewell, studying public administration at the University of Georgia, worked in the White House during the November 1995 government shutdown. The Starr report cites the first sexual encounter at a White House pizza gathering. Bracewell says she had a valuable experience in Washington but now faces constant questions about the affair.
