...return after an injury--was past her prime. ("Everyone's entitled to their own opinion," says Graf.) At Wimbledon, Venus Williams threw a volcanic tantrum over a line call in her battle against Novotna. (Novotna on the histrionics: "I don't even look at her.") And the younger crew is not shy about its narcissism. When British tabloids published pictures of Kournikova taken from behind, the athlete declared they were "great" depictions of her derriere: "Hey, it wasn't fat." She has also suggested that those who objected to her crowing were just jealous...
...stout one's specter continued to pervade the set of the "new" Psycho, which wrapped production last week. Prior to each scene, Van Sant and his crew huddled around a video monitor to watch similar bits of the 1960 version, making sure every moment was rendered with respect, if not calibrated precision. "The word remake is a fallacy," says cinematographer Christopher Doyle. "What we're trying to do is revoke and evoke." Besides running the older movie on a DVD player, Van Sant tacked photos of various freeze-frames on a nearby bulletin board as guides. "The concept...
...YORK: There's but one conclusion to be drawn so far from the known facts about the crash of Swissair flight 111, a McDonnell Douglas MD-11 that went down Wednesday night with 229 passengers and crew: There were no survivors.

...sure someone is working on the movie script of what Clinton would like to call "the show about nothing." Now that the Seinfeld crew has finished with the series, I hope that Jason Alexander, the funny guy who played George Costanza, will volunteer to play Clinton. There are a lot of similarities in the two characters. A.B. LUISISTIDES Indian Rocks Beach...
Part of the gloom will pass once this crew leaves office, and a few years of normalcy could make much of this fretting seem quaint. But that assumes some restoration of restraint: at least a partial dismantling of the political-prosecutorial-press complex that invites journalists to make their careers by bringing down an official, talk shows to boost their ratings by analyzing events that haven't happened yet, political partisans to eviscerate the opposition rather than engage it, and prosecutors to seek more money and more power in pursuit of ever smaller transgressions. For that to happen, the American...
