    Lucianne Goldberg, the conservative literary agent who played a pivotal role in exposing the affair between Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton, died Wednesday at 87. Her son, journalist Jonah Goldberg, confirmed the news Thursday and said his mother died 'peacefully at home, surrounded by people – and pets! – who loved her.' It was Goldberg who advised Pentagon aide Linda Tripp to record her conversations with then-White House intern Lewinsky when the then-24-year-old spoke about her affair with President Clinton. Those 20 hours of recordings became key evidence in the Kenneth Star investigation of Clinton over his affair with Lewinsky...
