...mainstream movies, exactly. In films like As Good as It Gets and My Best Friend's Wedding, homosexual characters appear in sympathetic but supporting roles. In indie films, which are made inexpensively for niche audiences, gays get star treatment: in The Opposite of Sex, Love and Death on Long Island and, by year's end, a dozen more. Just as important is the attitude behind many of the new films. Instead of ghettoizing the gay experience, it integrates it into familiar Americana--gays and straights laughing, loving, misunderstanding one another. As O'Haver says of Kiss, "The idea...
...things narrowly," one source familiar with Clinton's testimony told TIME. "He was accurate but not helpful, and that was his goal." Such prevarication may earn Clinton a new subpoena, of course, presuming Monica stood by her story. But the President's legal team knows that would make Starr appear to be simply pursuing salacious details, which is exactly how they are trying to paint him. The independent counsel's other option?

As the movie opens, Joey comes across as naive and impressionable, perhaps even numb to outside sensation. His lack of worldly perspective is as present in his eagerness to embark on a business venture about which he knows nothing as it is in his coy admission to Sissel that...
...roundup of what a Tanzanian police spokesman called "dubious characters" may even be motivated by the government's concern too nip in the bud any signs of Islamic militancy. "It appears the Tanzanians have had these people under surveillance for some time and are using the bombing as a pretext to arrest them," says TIME reporter Clive Mutiso. A Tanzanian official's statement that "we cannot say we have got somebody who is really responsible" but "we think we are doing well" underlines the grounds for skepticism. U.S. investigators continue to probe for the forensic evidence crucial to establishing...
