...these stories guarantees a long life. The tabloids go big first (JENNA AND TONIC, bleated the New York Post), thereby laundering the story for the rest of the media, which then cluck over the tabloids' distressingly low standards. How long will it be, I wondered, before the first JENNA'S CRY FOR HELP story appears? Not long enough. See Friday's New York Daily News. And yet the coverage so far has been more restrained than it would have been if the name on the police report had been Chelsea Clinton. Conservatives lie in wait for evidence of feeble family...
...Europe hoping to rally support for his call for a more muscular and simultaneous implementation of all of the Mitchell Report's recommendations (as opposed to the step-by-step approach preferred by the Israelis) and for the Europeans to play a greater mediating role.

Lots of kids drove to school with rifles they had forgotten to take from gun racks over the weekend. A teacher might cluck disapprovingly, but no one called a SWAT team...
Assuming that he was complex enough to be a real person, Forrester would cluck at this review’s invective contemptuously. After all, at one point, he declares to Jamal that critics cannot presume themselves intellectually fit to judge his book accurately. But how seriously can his words be applied to Finding Forrester when the film, unlike a great book, has no core of intelligent or compelling thought deserving of deep analysis, flawed or otherwise? Finding Forrester may have a high pedigree and the outward trappings of an Oscar-caliber film, but it’s really no more...
