a Kenyan woman named Nafissatou Diallo

In fact she is Guinean (she comes from the Guinée-Conakry)

[JULLIEN]

Strauss-Kahn has a reputation as a womanizer, with no history of violence

A female journalist named Tristane Banon had claimed he tried to rape her in 2002. However she didn't sue him because she is the godchild of Anne Sinclair, the wife of Dominique Strauss-Kahn and a French TV anchor.
Others female journalists have told they tried to be never alone with him in interviews or other circumstances because it was already known among French political journalists before the Diallo case he is sexually obsessed.

In 1968, Estrich became national campaign chairman for Mike Dukakis' presidential bid.

Typo error I suppose : it's 1988.

Thanks for the corrections.

As for Banon, I was aware of her charges, but I believe that she's
been largely discredited. However, just to be safe, I changed "no
history of violence" to "no reputation for violence."
