...soap opera: the night that high-powered publicist and society figure Lizzie Grubman allegedly backed her SUV into a crowd at a nightclub, reportedly after angrily calling a doorman "white trash." The case became the best automotive metaphor for class conflict on Long Island since Daisy Buchanan ran over Myrtle Wilson in The Great Gatsby. But, surprisingly, Kopple gives it only a few minutes. "One thing shouldn't take over the whole summer," she says...
...count Phillips in Bismarck, N.D., with his to-say-the-least questionable "rebuilt" engines. I don't think so. How do you like these Zippo lighters--1,110, if you're counting. I certainly am. What about my Marilyn Monroe movie furniture, my Trekkie memorabilia, my Daisy Buchanan, my Holy Grail, my double helix? Call me obsessed? What do you think of this church ceiling?

Eight of the CPD’s nine board members are Republicans or Democrats, and the executive director is a Republican...
...Sure, it's only basketball, but even Pat Buchanan would have traded for this guy. Seven feet tall but agile as a guard and armed with a silky shooting touch from all areas of the floor, Nowitzki made his first All-Star team this season at 23, has seemingly eradicated the last traces of basketball prejudice against European imports - that they were too soft to play the NBA's hard-knocks style, that they'd fade away at crunch time, that a lanky finesse players from places like Wurtzburg, Germany were never going to make an impact over the American...
