...most trusted friend. Investigators have evidence that Lewis encouraged Lewinsky to lie to Paula Jones' attorneys about her involvement with the President. When Monica told her mother that Linda Tripp planned to fake an ankle injury to avoid a subpoena in the Jones case, Lewis called the ruse "brilliant." Lewis also kept Monica's blue dress--the one that may be stained with Clinton's semen--from Jones' lawyers. Starr's team grilled Lewis in grand jury hearings, but they were halted after Lewis nearly suffered a breakdown. Starr granted Lewis full immunity in exchange for delivery of the suspect...
...some reason, from that moment on, the audience is on her side. "Once you fall in love with Mo'Nique," she explains later, "I can say anything." That includes energetic rants against Victoria's Secret's refusal to carry size 22. Though her material isn't brilliant, the former full-size model has a persona that's perfect for TV.

They may even force Grove, in the new edition now being prepared, to reverse its judgment...

The difference in age between parent and child alone would prevent it, and because genetics only partly determines who we are, a clone could never be exactly the same person as its parent. The offspring of a brilliant musician or a scientific genius could, depending on his or her life experience, turn out to be a great criminal. But human cloning will happen anyway--perhaps much sooner than anyone thought. And when it does, the hand-wringing of ethicists and politicians will not have been wasted...
What one can say is that Saving Private Ryan is a brilliant commentary on a certain kind of war movie--those depicting a small unit with a job to do. They form something like a tradition, one with roots snaking back to silent-picture days but flourishing with particular energy during and just after World War II. You know the drill: griping guys of disparate backgrounds do their duty--holding a vital position, taking a crucial hill--in the process bonding and absorbing acceptable losses...
