...that time, Albert assured his employers and the media that he was innocent of the charges and that he would be exonerated. (His reputation was hardly enhanced, though, when his name and phone number were found this summer in the black book of a murdered New York City dominatrix.) The principal players in the case were a casting director's dream. Leading Albert's defense was Roy Black, who had made his reputation defending William Kennedy Smith against a rape charge in 1991. The lead prosecutor was Richard E. Trodden, a former high school teacher who has been known...
...without issues, we were left to ponder such pointless dichotomies as age vs. middle age, wounded right hand vs. groping one, brunet power wife vs. blond. When these palled, as they inevitably did by late August, there was nothing to think about except the peculiar fact that a D.C. dominatrix had been one of the first 12 people on earth to learn about life on Mars. That and the important finding that the macarena is a remarkably effective way of rousing people from life-threatening stupor...
...directness that locates them firmly in Clineland. Barnett climbs inside them all, the jingles and the ballads, with equal agility. But the standouts are the torch songs.

Most notable is the dominatrix episode, which features an audio mistress clicking a pair of scissors and saying, "snip, snip, snip!" Although "Cyborgasm," fancied itself revolutionary by "exploring new media for erotica," it was merely a novelty and more or less fell flat; the sex noises on it are barely more interesting than the ones heard through the average fire door. As CD-ROM drives for personal computers have become more...
...attempted to set her example, but she ended up looking like a flaccid puppet sustained by her brilliantly turgid teleprompter. Michelle Pfeiffer babbled for a while and told us that she tries to choose roles responsibly as an artist: sleeping with a hairy animal and meowing as a cartoon dominatrix seemed, to her mind, to fit the bill...
