But in June, in comments to London's Daily Mail not reported in the U.S., Lewinsky warned, "If I chose to, I could bring out all the presents I still have from him and the messages on the answering machine tapes that no one's heard."

She was angry that Clinton's just-released memoir, "My Life," had painted her as a convenient but inconsequential presidential plaything and their affair as something Clinton engaged in merely "because I could."

Lewinsky threatened to make the release of her secret tapes "into something big to try to demonstrate that this wasn't just inappropriate intimate contact - that it really was something."

"All he had to do was tell the truth," she lamented, sounding as if she intended to set the record straight one way or another.

Now that the Clinton library has dismissed Lewinsky much the same way Clinton did in his book, will the scorned former intern go public with her secret evidence?

Or will she wait perhaps a bit longer - for, say, Sen. Clinton to announce her presidential intentions?
