...Russo is one of Hollywood's best kept secrets. Almost every movie she's in (save that monkey mess Buddy) is a bonafide hit. But Russo tends to hide her beauty (even though, ironically enough, she once was a supermodel) by taking goofy roles--she's usually a clumsy, awkward underdog. In Thomas Crown, she leads with her sexuality, and the chemistry she ignites with Brosnan is beyond electric. And the plot of the caper isn't so shabby either; even though we expect stud and vamp to unite in the end, there's enough twists and turns to cloud...

Take the furor over his clemency offer to 16 members of the Puerto Rican group known as the FALN. Hillary has insisted that she had "no involvement in or prior knowledge of" her husband's decision. And on Saturday she even appeared to rebuke the President with a terse written statement urging him to withdraw the offer because the terrorists had not met Clinton's condition of renouncing violence.

...after Andrew gave me my diploma, in what had to be the lamest, most awkward ceremony since I got my last diploma, that I found out Skip Barber offers a free course at high schools called "Crashing Is a Bummer." It certainly would cover the bummer of crashing your girlfriend's parents' car. Unfortunately, Andrew couldn't help me with that part, but he did tell me Jerry Seinfeld, who took the course a couple of times, totaled two Formula Four cars. Feeling sorry, Seinfeld slapped a Skip Barber magnet on his TV show's refrigerator. It is in that...
