It soon degenerated into a free-for-all. Hundreds of shouting photographers muscled through the crowd and autograph-hunters climbed atop chairs and book displays for a better look at the former White House intern, causing her to temporarily flee in tears. Lewinsky arrived in London on Sunday for a 19-stop tour to promote the biography ``Monica's Story,'' written by Princess Diana collaborator Andrew Morton. But the tour, which will end March 24 and is to take her to a number of small towns, could be much harder work than she envisioned.

Tourists held cameras over their heads and giggled - asking each other ``Did you see her?'' - as the 25-year-old Lewinsky sat alone at a table in the front of the room. While the crush of interest may have been overwhelming for Lewinsky, it was good for book sales. Harrods said it sold 400 signed copies of the book Monday and took telephone reservations for 700 more - making it the most successful signing session ever, edging out former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. And many who were able to have Lewinsky sign their books were touched by her courage.
