...disgraceful that individuals on both sides of the impeachment debate ruined the life of Monica Lewinsky, a decent if politically unsophisticated young woman. She is not one of the people who hurt the country. Her only real "crime" was to insist on controlling her own sex life. Ordinarily, I would be critical of a newsmagazine's neglecting major news issues to spotlight a minor celebrity. But I am happy you gave Monica a chance to defend herself. Perhaps her book profits will compensate in part for all the harm the government has unjustly caused her. DOMINICK FALZONE Los Angeles...
Bartley said the announcement was a "step in the right direction" but that "people's lives don't need committees--they need decent wages and decent benefits...
...comedy that perfected the form, the late Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove is more about nuclear war -- and of course bodily fluids -- than the kind we're fighting now. But take the alternate title, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, and you've got a decent description of Bill Clinton's foreign policy. No endgame? No vision? No problem.

Skateboards and Rollerblades come out of the closet when the weather is decent.

Significantly faster than walking, biking doesn't require a schedule or any Shuttleboy savvy. And although pitfalls include rampant campus bike theft and recent legislation prohibiting sidewalk-riding, hordes...
...part, dead-on. The play itself, essentially a lampoon of modern bureaucracy based on the introduction of a scientifically engineered language, "Ptydepe," into a truly bizarre office space, is remarkably relevant to 20-somethings caught up in today's corporate America. Because Havel's material is so clever, a decent production of The Memorandum would be easy, but an exceptional production will require a special affinity for Havel's idiom. Surprisingly, this group of students can speak Havel's language--excellent acting, creative set design and, most importantly, faithfulness to the spirit of Havel's wild imagination, produced a hilariously...
