...alter that outcome, leading congressional Republicans have been advising President Bill Clinton to get rid of Saddam once and for all. Depose him, capture him, kill him if necessary. That's the only sure way to terminate the seven-year-old practice of "cheat and retreat" that has let Iraq squirrel away warheads capable of carrying enough biological weapons to threaten its neighbors. It is a simple solution--in theory...
...Wheatstone Bridge-double differential CH3C6H2(NO2)3 set. These people are mere cogs, automata; they simply feel to make sure you have punched the right holes. As they cannot think, they cannot be impressed; they are clods. The only way to beat their system is to cheat.)

Also in the future: it will somehow be profitable and useful to graft our deepest mortal enemy's genes onto human ones, so as to further the self-destruction of the human...
...DeVito as deliciously disparate masters of legal sleaze, they're terrific. Another good rule is not to take Grisham novels as seriously as the writer does when you bring them to the screen, and Coppola fulfills that imperative too. This one is about a big insurance company trying to cheat a poor family out of medical payments that might save a boy's life. Justice in this matter is eventually served, but with comic klutziness and realistic ambiguity...
