		DETAILS OF THE SEX TAPES THAT MAY SINK THE PRESIDENT. BY JONATHAN BRODER | WASHINGTON -- The secretly recorded audio tapes of 24-year-old Monica Lewinsky, the former White House intern who allegedly had an affair in the White House with President Clinton, describe a young woman "deeply in love with a married man ... the president," and the sexual relationship that they had, according to a literary agent who says she has heard the tapes. New York literary agent Lucy Goldberg, a close friend of Linda Tripp, the Pentagon official who surreptitiously recorded Lewinsky's allegations of her affair with Clinton, told Salon that what she had heard "was pretty damned shocking." Lewinsky has denied under oath having the affair with the president and has also denied allegations, also purportedly on the tapes, that she was pressured by President Clinton and an advisor, Vernon Jordan, to deny the allegations. Goldberg says there is a "possibility" that Tripp would submit a book proposal in connection with the allegations. Previously, Goldberg represented Dolly Kyle, an Arkansas woman who wrote a book in 1996 about her alleged 25-year-long affair with Clinton. The book, which Goldberg described as "a well-written sizzler," was discredited by Arkansas reporters. Goldberg also represents former Los Angeles policeman Mark Fuhrman, whose book on the O.J. Simpson case was a bestseller. She may have a hot new property with the Lewinsky tapes. "I might even write a book about all this," she added. Describing the secret tape recordings that Tripp made of conversations with Lewinsky, Goldberg said: "It's hours and hours and hours of two women talking about one of them being deeply in love with a married man, who just happens to be the president. There's also talk about their sexual encounters." She declined to elaborate. In interviews Wednesday evening with PBS's "Jim Lehrer Newshour" and on National Public Radio, President Clinton strenuously denied having any sexual relation with Lewinsky. He also categorically denied that he and Jordan had instructed Lewinsky to lie about the alleged affair. Lewinsky, who has already signed a sworn affidavit denying any affair with Clinton, is scheduled to be deposed by lawyers for Paula Jones on Friday. Jones' attorneys are trying to establish a "pattern of sexual misconduct" on Clinton's part to bolster Jones' demand for an apology and $2 million in damages. Clinton's lawyers now anticipate Lewinsky will plead the Fifth Amendment on Friday, a move that may deepen the suspicions surrounding the president. Salon's attempts to reach Tripp by telephone were unsuccessful. Goldberg said Tripp "had gone to ground and changed her telephone number" and had asked the literary agent to answer any questions. "I'm a friend of Linda's, and she asked me if I would talk to people for her," she said. "I'm not her Susan Carpenter McMillan" -- Paula Jones' spokeswoman -- "I'm just a friend helping a friend."
