...jury and later Newsweek that during a hike through the Catskills on Memorial Day weekend in 1996, Lewinsky divulged that while she and the President shared bouts of "intimate touching" near the Oval Office and some heated late-night phone calls, as a rule they stopped short of sexual climax. It was Clinton's preference. "It was basically like foreplay," Young concluded. "Nothing was ever taken to completion." The President "felt it really wasn't oral sex if it wasn't completed...

...example of a trend that has seen virtually every action movie released this summer freighted with a subplot about the importance of family. This has had the unprecedented effect of elevating teary-eyed hugs to the same level of cinematic importance as blowing up the Chrysler Building. The emotional climax of Deep Impact, for instance, occurs when Tea Leoni's reporter character embraces her estranged dad as they stand on a windswept Atlantic beach.

And one can question Niccol's vision of the future of TV: not 500 channels nattering to niche markets but one big show binding the world in the bogus bliss of pink-cheeked Americana. And the idea of a program uninterrupted by commercials (Christof makes his money from product placement and ancillary markets) is nearly as naive as Truman. The show is also pretty tame. Unlike most daytime-drama characters, Truman is a faithful husband who has no evil twin...
