...married couple is spending an unremarkable evening in their Paris home; Sonia (Helen Hunt) is trying to get some work done, while Henry (John Turturro) is using all his wiles to get their 6-year-old to go to sleep. The complication: another couple - Henry's boss and his wife - unexpectedly show up for dinner, one night before they are supposed to. The twist: the ensuing evening is replayed three different times, representing three alternate versions of how this uncomfortable situation might play...
...play starts wonderfully, with a sure sense of how the trivial tensions of married life can escalate into crisis. Henry, an astrophysicist preparing to publish an important paper, is casually told by his boss that another group of researchers has just published a paper on the very same subject, throwing Henry into despair. As the scene is replayed, his reaction to this news shifts and varies, as do other details of the evening, from what snacks the parents decide to feed their restless 6-year-old, to the progress of an illicit romance between Sonia and Henry's boss...

In 1995 he moved to Texas to serve as CEO of Halliburton, the giant oil-services company. A colleague of Cheney's in both Bush administrations recalled how he would drop...
...fall of 2000, however, Cheney was back in it--big time. As the vice-presidential running mate of the son of his old boss, he was beginning to focus on problems the Clinton Administration had been unable to solve. High among them was Iraq's continued defiance of U.N. resolutions requiring it to disarm. And when he broached the topic on the campaign trail, Cheney sounded ever more hawkish. He had been outraged by Saddam's attempt in 1993 to assassinate former President Bush in Kuwait, and he thought the short bombing campaign after Iraq kicked out the U.N. inspectors...
