...That approach has worked well in Congress, where Paxon, who was first elected in 1988, has as close a bond with moderates like Rick White of Washington as he does with hard-liners of the Largent and Graham variety.

Paxon points to his conservative voting record--but quietly casting a vote is different from taking the lead on an ideologically loaded issue.

Handsome and likable but startlingly self-centered, playboy Max (Clive Owen) regularly hurts the feelings of his young lover Rudy (Brian Webber) by sleeping around with other men. But one night Max picks up the wrong soldier at a club, and the next morning the Gestapo appears at their door. On the run from the S.S. for two years, Max and Rudy are finally captured...
