Wife of Clarence Thomas Reaches Out to Anita Hill Over 1991 Episode

Virginia Thomas, the wife of Associate Justice Clarence
Thomas of the Supreme Court, left a message last weekend on
the voice mail of Anita Hill, who accused her husband of
sexual harassment during his confirmation hearings, a
spokeswoman for Ms. Thomas confirmed on Tuesday.

In a message left at the office of Ms. Hill, who is now a
professor at Brandeis University, Ms. Thomas apparently
brought up Ms. Hill's accusations against her husband during
the 1991 hearings.

Andrew Gully, senior vice president of the Brandeis
University communications office, confirmed that Ms. Hill had
received the message and that she had turned it over to the
campus department of public safety. That office, in turn,
passed it on to the F.B.I.
