...Senate committee investigating Whitewater has suspended hearings while Democrats and Republicans bicker over funding, but the testimony by witnesses has already led South Carolina Republican Lauch Faircloth to label the First Lady a liar. Not all the news is bad for the Clintons: two weeks ago, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (which took over for the now defunct Resolution Trust Corp.) concluded that neither Hillary Clinton nor the Rose Law Firm should be sued for any losses incurred by the failed S&L Madison Guaranty...
Should that dark day become a reality, the tragic loss of human life in Nigeria shall dwarf the Rwandan genocide. Only then shall the international community begin to bicker about how best to alleviate the expanding human catastrophe. In 1990, Shell oil's request for police protection for its installations instigated the Umuechem massacre in which hundreds of villagers were butchered to death. Even at this moment seventeen more environmental activists face the death penalty. That is why we argue that Shell Oil is Nigerian blood...
...They bicker and bond--a wise, weary detective (Morgan Freeman) in his last week before retirement and an eager kid (Brad Pitt) fresh from the country and ready to kick some big-city butt. Police partnerships don't come any lower concept than this. On the other hand, the serial killer they are pursuing, a creepy, brainy religious fanatic played by Kevin Spacey, is a high-concept kind of guy: he's trying to commit seven murders in seven days, each of them supposed to illustrate one of the seven deadly sins in some preposterously stomach-churning...
...retain our sympathy. And the question of whether they will make a go of Hipocracy, the upmarket clothing store they decide to open, is not a compelling one. Shopkeeping cannot compare to moviemaking and murder (The Player's topics) in dramatic interest. Peter and Katherine don't even bicker entertainingly as their marriage collapses; they just drawl withdrawal. The languid self-satisfaction of The New Age, the sense that its maker knows most people will hate it and doesn't care because he's issuing "a personal statement," is its most annoying quality. Don't be suckered. Your first instinct...
...gods talent to hit and throw a baseball better than anyone else in the world. No one in his right mind would spend a beautiful August Saturday in the bleachers at Wrigley Field cheering 27 men in suits -- plus the mercurial Marge Schott of the Cincinnati Reds -- as they bicker over revenue sharing. But put Ken Griffey or Barry Bonds or Frank Thomas in a Motel Six parking lot in North Dakota with a bat and ball, and fans will flock. Maybe Greg Maddux or Jimmy Key will show up to do the pitching. That's the enduring glory...
