...give Joffe the benefit of the doubt: enough points to a very bitter, saddening satire behind the entertainment, particularly the film's wrap-up, which takes the idea of a know-it-all detective to one logical conclusion. A persistent dialogue between camera movements and angles also suggests more (and I'm not just talking about how every other scene starts with Arquette's legs and moves up). And Mulrooney's conflicted character gives us an occasional flash of honest hope: a P.R. exec in his brother's firm, he cannot stop wisecracking about the hypocrisy and yet, weak, himself...
...applaud Judge Wright for finally calling the president to task for his misdeeds. Her finding-a civil, not a criminal, ruling-is a sanction appropriate to the president's offense. There is no doubt that the president lied during his deposition. But, given that the questionably motivated lawsuit was dismissed, it is reasonable that Judge Wright opted for the less-serious civil contempt citation...

Would an economist have been selected 10 years ago, shortly after Black Monday and on the eve of a major recession? I doubt it.

...will never forget that moment when Joltin' Joe sat down with a 10-year-old ballplayer to talk about baseball and give me his autograph. This middle-aged man is still deeply touched that the great Joe DiMaggio would take that time with me, and no doubt thousands of other young men. To me, that will always be the measure of his greatness. GARY DEWITT Tahoe Vista, Calif...
