...more importantly, in an age where humor consists primarily of Seinfeld-esque ironic cool, Bridges wasn't afraid to be goofy. There is, of course, his classic turn as a chain-smoking air-traffic controller in "Airplane!" While nobody could completely rescue "Hot Shots" (or, for that matter, "Part Deux"), his Admiral Benson came close. And how can you not admire a man who could star in a stinker like "Battlestar Galactica" -- and play it straight...
...whereas the Sales shot was a surreal, Broadway-like moment. After letting UConn win the tipoff, the opposing Villanova players stood silently on their side as a player ceremoniously dribbled the ball to the basket and handed it to the flat-footed Sales, who finished the stilted pas de deux by banking an ugly one off the backboard; then Villanova evened the game with an uncontested shot of its own.

Reportedly, Lewinsky would reverse her earlier testimony and say she had a sexual relationship with President Clinton in exchange for immunity. But Starr wants to hear the ex-intern testify that Clinton and Vernon Jordan pressured her into covering up the affair...
...Waltz of the Flowers was well choreographed, and though the too-familiar music may grate on the nerves in crowded shopping malls, here it retains some of its magic when accompanied by dancers gracefully simulating the opening and closing of flower petals. In the final pas de deux of the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier, Jennifer Gelfand and Robert Wallace were both excellent. Gelfand's solid technique, effortless jumps and unmatched turns made her variation a joy to watch, reaching a high point when she completed four and five rotations after her fouette turns--a feat seldom seen...
