...toughest, most arrogant...(and thus most interesting) son of a bitch;" the flick Pulp Fiction as a movie where "A lot of stuff happens, so pay attention;" and Under Siege as "The Navy...a chance to blow away a lot of bad guys on a really cool big boat." The movie trivia tidbits are pretty interesting, too--mentioning that 2 Live Crew sampled "Me So Horny" from Full Metal Jacket, that Barb Wire was loosely based on Casablanca, or that Goldfinger was the first Bond movie to have merchandise marketed with it makes for good study break conversation...

"I remain confident that everything I did was legal and correct," said Gore. But while it appears that Gore and Clinton are in the same legal boat over the phone calls, a top Justice Department official cautioned that the two cases are far from identical. Gore's calls are well documented, and Gore has admitted to connecting with donors on 46 occasions. Not so with Clinton. While investigators have D.N.C. "call sheets" urging Clinton to press...
