...ever given any gifts to Monica Lewinsky? A: I don't recall. Do you know what they were? There has always been a danger in the public's indifference to political fudging, which is that politicians will begin to take it as evidence that their audience really is a bunch of chumps. Clinton's problem is that now he is caught in a criminal investigation, where the rules are quite different from the murky conventions of politics. The acceptable evasions of p.r. are not transplantable...

...something to laugh at; it is a serious crime against women which is often overlooked until it is too late. And as Mary's stalker has shown, orders of protection are often useless against violently estranged boyfriends, lovers and husbands.

"The teen genre is a godsend to studios, because they can use a bunch of young people in the place of one $20 million star," says Cary Woods, who produced Scream. "And the kids don't get gross percentages, so the studios get nice profits." It's not as if these kids were cobbling Nikes in China--$50,000 to $150,000 is decent...

...teenager, and this seemed like a good excuse to get under the hood and learn about How Things Work. A few minutes later (after I'd dropped the socket from the wrench irretrievably into the engine compartment but before my dad taught me a bunch of new and colorful words), I realized that I am a 10-thumbed, butterfingered klutz.
