...none of those extravagances really made him happy. So in 1989 Monaghan took a two-year leave from Domino's to devote himself to Catholic charities and soon began to dump his toys. (The Tigers went to Little Caesars owner Michael Ilitch in 1992 for $85 million.) "Most of the time I was buying things to get attention, to have people notice me," Monaghan once remarked. "That's the sin of pride, the worst sin of all, and I'm the guiltiest person...
Another day, another Clinton document dump on the Internet. This time, it's the dregs from the Paula Jones case. The not-so-surprising news is that the good parts have already leaked -- which is why Judge Susan Webber Wright said she was releasing the papers in the first place. Still, for aficionados, there are a few new morsels. The largest: President Clinton testified he had not had sex with any woman who was an employee of the federal government or the state of Arkansas since 1986, the time frame specified by the judge.

But October was pressured this summer by its corporate parent, Universal Pictures, to dump the film. It will be released, unrated, by its own production company...
...There'll be no recess for the embattled President, however. Another massive data dump is coming Clinton's way on the Internet, this time from Arkansas judge Susan Webber Wright, who announced that dozens of previously sealed documents in the Paula Jones case will arrive at a computer screen near you on October 19. On top of that, Monica Lewinsky is simply swimming in big money offers to tell her story on TV -- the latest from Fox supremo Rupert Murdoch, who reportedly put a cool $3 million on the table in return for a full hour of Monica.
