...sedan, which went on sale in the spring, is the hottest iron out of Chrysler in a generation. Beefy, brash, styled like a gangstermobile, it is resonating with urban hipsters, popping up in music videos and car-makeover magazines, tricked out with big wheels, lowered suspensions and interiors with mini-bars and reclining seats. Shaq owns one; so does Snoop Dogg. The top-end 300C features Chrysler's popular 340-h.p. Hemi engine--a revival of the legendary V-8s that Chrysler built in the 1950s and '60s--the most car muscle you can buy in the $35,000 price...

As an orator, Hamilton could speak extemporaneously for hours on end. As a writer, he could crank out 5,000-or 10,000-word memos overnight. Jefferson never underrated his foe's copious talents. At one point, a worried Jefferson confided to his comrade James Madison that Hamilton was a one-man army, "a host within himself...
Reagan is just as brash, if more naive, in Kings Row. The film touches, daintily, on sexually possessive fathers, insane children, vindictive doctors, the hatred of the rich for the poor and, in the relationship of Reagan's character Drake McHugh and his friend Parris (Robert Cummings), a hint of homoeroticism.
