...Deputy Prime Minister asked, "How's our friend Bill doing?" Most of the hour-long session was spent discussing Clinton's re-election prospects. Dresner had prepared a five-page proposal that called for the Americans to "introduce your campaign staff to sophisticated methods of message development, polling, voter contact and campaign organization...
Your story included a graphic illustration indicating that President Clinton vetoed the securities-litigation reform bill "four days after his White House dinner with trial-lawyer honcho Bill Lerach." To set the record straight, the dinner was a White House Christmas party attended by more than 250 people. My contact with the President was limited to 30 seconds of social chitchat.

...better reception than they received after the Riyadh bombing. The U.S. always seeks to participate in investigations of incidents in which Americans are killed, and they did so last November.

The Saudis refused, U.S. officials say, and did not inform the FBI before the four were publicly beheaded last May 31. Intelligence experts think that either the Saudis...

In 1989, after a clever Spielberg-rip-off kids' fantasy (Making Contact) and a comedy about moviemaking (Ghost Chase), he directed Moon 44, an outer-space Dirty Dozen with a story line that would recur in ID4: for a desperate space battle, a former combat pilot must assemble a ragtag band of flyers, including a loser with heroically suicidal tendencies. Devlin played the computer-nerdy male ingenue; after Moon 44, he and the director became filmmaking partners...
