Knowing a court fight was coming, McCain and Feingold included a provision in the bill calling for a fast-track review process. A three-judge panel will hear McConnell's challenge, then the Supreme Court. At issue: the constitutionality of the bill's soft-money and issue-ad restrictions. "We started with the question, What do we think the court would uphold?" says Trevor Potter, a McCain ally and former Federal Elections Commission chairman...
...Michael Shanahan is struggling to find the Spanish word for pedophilia. First, he ad libs, referring in Spanish to the "crimes of the priests." Then, seeing the rows of blank faces, he resorts to saying pedophilia with a Spanish accent--which turns out to be right. A white Roman Catholic priest of Irish descent ministering to a mostly Hispanic congregation, Shanahan, along with his flock, is the picture of the Roman Catholic Church's future in the U.S. For a year and a half, he has been the only full-time pastor for the 600 families, most of them Puerto...
...Bill Frist, aka Dr. Frist, has written a guide to coping with bioterrorism, entitled "When Every Moment Counts: What You Need to Know About Bioterrorism from the Senate's Only Doctor" (Rowman & Littlefield).

Also, there is no indication whether or not the proceeds are being given to charity. But diet doc Dean Ornish sure likes it: "If you buy only one book this year, this should...
Especially for the grimly chipper Jessica (Jennifer Westfeldt). Spotting what sounds like a perfect soul mate in a personals column, she also spies trouble: the ad is in the lesbian section. But, still, what's wrong with having an innocent drink with Helen Cooper (Heather Juergensen)? Nothing--except that Helen is a lot more decisive than Jessica. The design for living they develop can hardly be called a romp. It is, instead, an edgy exploration of role playing and sexual choice in a climate where all options are acceptable--even to Jessica's mom, who is not as traditionally suburban...
...They came, they thawed, they conquered!" Could there be a snazzier ad line for a computer-animated feature about three prehistoric buddies? This freezin' threesome--a woolly mammoth (voiced by Ray Romano), a saber-toothed tiger (Denis Leary) and a sloth (John Leguizamo)--survives plot challenges of no particular ingenuity. The film breaks anthropological ground by revealing that humans lived in the Ice Age, but its contribution to cartoon history is more modest. It yearns for Pixar-style wit without quite earning...
