From ANIMAL PEOPLE, September 1998:

Rick Obernesser, 42, chief ranger at
the Cape Cod National Seashore from 1993
until February 1998, and assistant chief ranger
at Yellowstone National Park since then, was
on August 5 elevated to chief ranger at
Yellowstone. Obernesser succeeded Dan
Sholly, 52, who was demoted and transferred
to a lesser post in south Florida for allegedly
sexually harassing his former secretary, Susan
Perkins, after her husband Rory, also a
National Park Service employee, was killed in
an accident. Perkins said the incidents began on
September 5, 1997, the morning after Sholly
and his wife took her to dinner. Assigned to
investigate the case, Glen Canyon Dam
National Recreation Area chief ranger Tomie
Lee testified at a June hearing that Sholly at first
denied Perkins’ claim that he French-kissed her,
and accused Perkins of heavy drinking, but
added that Sholly later said his tongue might
have entered Perkins’ mouth by accident.

Cox reported on July 28 that PETA supporters Alec
Baldwin and Kim Basinger would serve lobster salad,
yellowfin tuna, and Hudson Valley foie gras at an
August 1 reception for U.S. President Bill Clinton and
First Lady Hilary Clinton. PETA is outspoken in opposition
to lobstering and fishing, and produced a gruesome
undercover video of ducks being force-fed to make
Hudson Valley foie gras. “Web sites and Internet chat
rooms have been buzzing,” New York Post “Page Six”
columnist Richard Johnson wrote on August 6. “The
menu was published hours before the Clintons were
scheduled to arrive.” PETA president Ingrid Newkirk
called Baldwin, who called the caterer. The foie gras,
Newkirk told Johnson, “was not served.” The caterer
confirmed her account.
