...vetoing his on-screen portrayal in this summer's Contact, wait until he gets a peek at next year's Primary Colors. The $65 millionish feature is based on the best-selling roman a clef that portrays an ambitious Governor named Jack Stanton whose presidential campaign is rocked by bimbo eruptions and accusations of draft dodging. The movie, which director Mike Nichols finished shooting last week, stars John Travolta as Stanton, Emma Thompson as his strong-willed wife Susan and Billy Bob Thornton as a James Carville-type campaign manager...

...monarchy on the installment plan." Jones' lawyers contend that her case is not about dollars--she has said she would give any damages money left after she paid her attorneys to charity--but reputation. "It's had an emotional toll on her that people are calling her a bimbo, trailer-park trash, a gold digger," says Jones' lawyer, Joseph Cammarata, who argues she should not have to wait until 2001 to begin clearing her name. He also contends that the burden on Clinton of proceeding with the lawsuit has been overstated. "This President goes on vacation, he plays golf...

...legal matter, be irrelevant: the raw quality of Jones' allegations. A decision in her favor would open the President up not to a run-of-the-mill civil lawsuit but a potentially lurid judicial voyage through a world of alleged use of state troopers to procure women, and purported "bimbo eruptions." Clinton would no doubt be questioned about contentions like paragraph 22 of Jones' complaint: that "[t]here were distinguishing characteristics in Clinton's genital area that were obvious to Jones." Even Justices reluctant to extend presidential privilege may feel that there are some questions the leader of the free...

...small screen would be a comfortable home for women stars, from Lucy to Roseanne. Those actresses who stayed in films found themselves playing caricatures. Davis devolved into a harpy, sharing the horrific What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? with Joan Crawford and a rat. Younger actresses took the bimbo route. Both groups were deprived of the intelligence of the '30s, the malefic grandeur of the '40s. Movies were now a man's world. If women wanted to survive as more than sluts or nutty aunts, they had to be as burly and aggressive...

...still drawn to the kind of female geometry that excited their caveman ancestors, but this atavism only seems to make them resentful. My dear brother, for example, a man whom the concept of political correctness persistently eludes, refers to dumb women as "D cups." Or consider the appellation "bimbo," with its implication that a great bod is incompatible with normal intelligence. Possibly also relevant here is the masochistic T shirt that says SPEAK SLOWLY AND CLEARLY; I'M A NATURAL BLONDE. The central fact to cling to in that fitting room is that in the post-Pleistocene epoch, the body...
