...midnight came and went on Thursday at the White House, the honored guests, all starched and silked, indulged in some good food and stargazing-- at the President and the men who want to be President and the men who play Presidents in the movies. For one brief shining moment, the capital's obsession melted away. There was gentle encouragement from Elton John: "Can you feel the love tonight?" Bill and Hillary Clinton, told they should retire by 12, danced well past their bedtime to old favorites with new meanings: I Heard It Through the Grapevine...
...written by Starr's office granting Monica immunity. The two sides, Ginsburg claims, agreed on a schedule of interviews in which Lewinsky would sit down through the week with FBI agents in California.

...Anjelika Krylova, 24, and Oleg Ovsiannikov, 28, can help it. The younger Russian pair train with the coach that Grishuk and Platov used to have.

An Affair to Remember (1957). Okay, ladies, it's your day. But come...
Will Hunting and his girlfriend have a late night snack at the Tasty (perhaps the last time that precious relic was captured on film), and Robin William's psychiatrist works at Bunker Hill Community College. The MIT dome looms prominently, and the Lowell House bell tower makes a brief but pivotal appearance. Having seen the film, we look at these buildings with a new eye, our hangouts and homes having become celebrities of sorts...
