...Dole's shoes, rather than changing the style of the Senate: "Our agenda will be the same as Bob Dole laid out for us." Lott, whose manner is tougher than Dole's, reassured reporters after the Senate vote that he will not set a more combative tone in his chamber.

Grisham had approval of script, director and cast during the making of A Time to Kill (while grumping about Universal's unapproved adaptation of The Chamber, due this fall). He is co-writing the screenplay for The Rainmaker with director Francis Coppola. By the time Grisham finishes his eighth novel, he could call it Showgirls II and still name his terms...
