...story that's tangible and touching, and the performances of Lane and Schreiber are especially powerful. As the emotionally torn Pearl, Lane does an excellent job of conveying the sadness and regret that motivates her to do the unthinkable. Her credibility crumbles as she becomes more entangled in her affair with Walker, and the ease with which she betrays her husband is unfathomable. The shock is enhanced by Schreibier's convincing portrayal of Marty, the model of integrity and goodness. Pearl's journey of discovery has a happy ending, though one that is tempered by the sad reality of unrealized...
Tuleh, like Robinson and Yates, already shows uptown at New York's semiannual collections. The team's fall '99 presentation, held in February, was a packed affair, with many of the city's major fashion editors present.

No professional brothel prostitute reveals the identity of any of her clients, regardless of their status or celebrity. A prostitute's commitment to total discretion is a prerequisite to her employment...

"Don't ask, don't tell" may be offensive to some, but events in Kosovo should serve as a stark reminder that our military is a force for great good in the world and is worthy of our utmost respect. It is past time that students on this campus grew up and accepted the fact that the enormous responsibilities of some groups in this world mean that they cannot always perfectly conform...
What impresses me most about Monica is her candidness, composure, honesty and personal strength. I am amazed at her ability to articulate her thoughts and feelings in these interviews. Although the affair was a mistake, I have great empathy for her and her family. She has paid her price, and now we must look at ourselves. It's time we just left her alone. PAUL M.
