...would-be constituents certainly understand, is that Hillary's value to them will never be greater than it is now. For even if she wins, it is hard to imagine a junior Senator having nearly the clout of an ambitious candidate who happens to have the President's ear...

...modern megaplex doesn't come cheap. Even though it tends to attract more patrons willing to shell out for those $6 bags of popcorn, each snazzy new location, complete with stadium seating (for unobstructed views) and ear-shattering digital sound, costs in the range of $15 million to $25 million. Moreover, theaters still retain only 50% of ticket revenues, handing the rest over to the studios and relying on concessions for the big bucks. Add to that the fiscal drain of shutting down "older" multiplexes (relics around for a decade), and it's no wonder that the bottom lines...

...money. It has ever been thus. Bob Hope's gagmen were awakened at 3 a.m. for emergency jokes; James Allardice wrote the droll TV monologues that made Alfred Hitchcock a household deity. But these scribes were as anonymous as the Roman speechwriter who whispered into the dying Caesar's ear, "Say, 'Et tu, Brute?'"

But right now she has that most unusual and felicitous of political combinations: the ear of the president and the desire to make some new friends ASAP. Now if only the First Family could synchronize their press releases...

...downtown club, sleepy, music throbbing, your third drink drained. A stranger starts whispering gruff poetry into your ear. That's Tricky, the prince of trip-hop, and a dues-paying member of the musical avant-garde. In his mesmerizing new album he collaborates with hip-hoppers DJ Muggs (of Cypress Hill) and Grease. They help bring his almost perversely abstract compositions back down to the street, grounding them with raw raps and blunt beats. Tricky remains endearingly elusive, delivering almost all his vocals sotto voce, winding his way through the shadows of his songs...
