...hands-on briefing. Willey's performance was compelling and dangerous: she didn't fit the profile of a Clinton hater, was reluctant to tell her story and looked and sounded a whole lot like a Junior Leaguer. When the President's lawyers and cosmeticians got on the phone afterward to come up with a containment strategy, they didn't need to say anything to one another about how powerful her performance was. "You don't spend a lot of time restating the obvious," said communications chief Ann Lewis, "but it was pretty clear...
...taping, Nikki learned two things about Chico she hadn't known before: that he was still seeing his ex-girlfriend Mindy and that he had a second lover--Rick. She encountered them both on camera, naturally, and Mindy assaulted her. Afterward, Nikki talked about what she'd just gone through.

Through his eyes, as reconstructed by Mann, we see the increasingly hidden world of early gay Hollywood: the actors--Cary Grant and Randolph Scott, Claudette Colbert and Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo and Ramon Novarro--and the people behind the scenes, such as director George Cukor...
...very bad thing. In fact, McNealy was very hardcore on that point, which is great, because it is very consistent with his political beliefs. It was good to hear Netscape say those same things--that they don't think any regulation is required. People I talked to afterward thought it had gone very well...
