Now, the commander, Marine Gen. John Allen, is being investigated by the Defense Department, the woman who traded flirty e-mails with Allen is asking for privacy, and the home of the former spy chief’s lover has been searched by the FBI. Confused? You’re not alone. These are the latest developments in the complicated and widening scandal that began with CIA Director David Petraeus and two women with military connections, and has now ensnared Allen. It also threatens to bog down a newly re-elected President Barack Obama. His administration is preparing for critical fiscal negotiations with Congress, but instead finds itself facing questions about sex scandals and dealing with powerful lawmakers increasingly concerned about potential security risks and why they weren’t told of the Petraeus affair sooner. “Well, I certainly wouldn’t call it welcome,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said in facing a blizzard of questions about Petraeus and Allen at Tuesday’s press briefing. “In his duties at CENTCOM, Gen. Allen conducted a lot of legitimate business. She (Kelley) did a lot of work with CENTCOM, including Wounded Warriors and such,” the official said. “It could be that 29,900 of the documents are legitimate business, and the few remaining raise a few eyebrows.” The potentially inappropriate messages were “flirtatious” in nature, a defense official who has been authorized to speak on the matter told CNN. Sources familiar with Kelley have said the relationship between the two was not sexual. One said their communications were not of a sexual nature, while another allowed that the e-mails were flirtatious.

Caitlin Clark is a lot like Steph Curry. Or maybe she’s more like a combination of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. Then again, you can see why people see some Pete Maravich in her game. But no matter the comparison, Clark is already one of the most famous basketball players in America. Even if you don’t follow her sport, you know who she is. Her final college game, the NCAA women’s championship, was the most-watched women’s basketball game ever—eclipsing even the men’s title game for the first time in history. Viewership for the draft where Clark went first was more than four times higher than the previous record. Demand for the draft was so high the WNBA even brought back fans for the first time in a decade. It’s not something that people typically pay to watch in person. But 1,000 tickets sold out within 15 minutes. Five days later, Clark made a surprise guest appearance on Saturday Night Live. We’re at an inflection point for the WNBA and the game itself, a chance for women’s basketball to finally capture the sort of attention usually reserved for their male counterparts. But for many of the greats who preceded Clark, it’s a bittersweet moment. “We were born too soon,” said Molly Kazmer, who in June 1978 became the first player signed to the Women’s Professional Basketball League, or WBL, which is believed to have been the first pro league for women in the U.S. Then known as Molly “Machine Gun” Bolin, Kazmer played three seasons in the WBL before it folded in May 1981. “I’m grateful for the Caitlin Clark effect, because she has stirred so much interest in the game. At the same time, I knew what it was like to be a pro without a league. I didn’t get a chance to retire. I didn’t get a chance to quit. I was just getting to the top o
