...this movie, your character associates liking the band Coldplay with being gay. Any backlash? A lot of people had a very strong reaction to the Coldplay thing. I met Fran Drescher a few weeks ago, and I was a little nervous to see her 'cause in another scene I kind of insulted her voice. But she thought it was hilarious, as did her parents. Meanwhile, I am a little bit nervous about running into Gwyneth Paltrow--or Apple...

Congressman Tom Davis of Virginia, whose previous leadership job was to raise money for Republican House members up for re-election, broke with the White House message and declared last week that overturning Roe v. Wade could "produce a political backlash" among crucial suburban voters. As for a general attack on Alito, the numbers seem to break the Democrats' way. Pollster Garin, in a survey conducted before the 1985 memo came out, found that only 43% of those polled said they thought the Senate should vote in favor of Alito, compared...
