59. Four of Governor Clinton's "executive protection" troopers, who had allegedly aided and abetted his extramarital pursuits, were very forthcoming about the governor's affairs. An Arkansas state employee, Larry Nichols, had even filed suit against Clinton, ostensibly for employment reasons, but the suit named five specific Clinton paramours, one of whom was Gennifer Flowers. Another was a former Miss America, Elizabeth Ward Gracen, who denied the allegation at the time but in 1998 admitted she had had a one-night stand with Clinton in 1983.
