...public beatings but also from the deep personal losses she has suffered since entering the White House. Her father died, then the President's mother. Deputy White House counsel Vince Foster, her close friend and law partner from Arkansas, committed suicide, under circumstances that continue to nourish the dark theology of the Clinton haters. Others from the Little Rock circle left in disgrace. "I could see in her eyes a real hurt and a loss of bearings," says Cisneros...
...lobby of the Chateau Marmont, a venerable Hollywood hotel located on the grungy end of the Sunset Strip, is one of Los Angeles' prime celebrity loci. It's a place where young male movie stars skulk about on bright, hot days in dark leather jackets and knit O.J. caps, as if they were second-story men in an old Dick Tracy comic. And here too, representing the not so tormented, not so still-living-in-James-Dean's-shadow side of stardom, we find Tori Spelling.

God remains dead. And we have killed...
Think of an old-dark-house party catered by Noel Coward. A place as creepy as the Pascals' needs a virgin sacrifice, and that would be Lesly (Tori Spelling), a waitress engaged to the young master of the house, Jackie-O's twin Marty (Josh Hamilton). He's halfway between normal and nuts, while Jackie lives in lunacy as if it were the garden room at high tea. Her favorite delusion is that she is Jacqueline Kennedy on the day of her husband's death. She's just a bit confused about the identity of the assassin...
