NEW YORK (AllPolitics, February 22) -- ABC News will air Monica Lewinsky's first television interview in a two-hour special Wednesday, March 3, ABC News President David Westin announced Monday.

In a tele-conference with reporters, Westin described the interview, conducted by veteran anchor Barbara Walters, as "educational."

"I learned this was a much more complicated and subtle story than has been seen in the press," said Westin.

Walters, who was also on the tele-conference, described Lewinsky as "full and frank."

"She doesn't paint a glorious picture of herself," Walters said.

When asked why the network isn't airing the special this week, Westin said he would feel "uncomfortable" doing so, given the complicated production that goes into making a special. The special edition of "20/20" will air from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. EST.
