...author of the best-selling The Real Anita Hill, claims the troopers came forward out of a public-spirited concern that Clinton's behavior, if he continued it as President, could endanger national security by making him vulnerable to blackmailers. His sources were also motivated, he admits, by ''an element of score settling and self-interest.'' Patterson claims Clinton promised him a job transfer but never delivered. ''We lied for him and helped him cheat on his wife, and he treated us like dogs,'' he complained in the story. The Spectator article gained some credibility by forcing the hand...
...mixed media element of the class appeals to many of its students. Marotta, who is doing a senior drawing thesis, noted that “everything I do in the department is taking place on paper.

After three years in the lab--at one time making mixes in a food blender--Green came up with...

How the girl wound up two thousand miles away and dead is an interesting little mystery, but it is ultimately the only driving plot element to the movie. Like Morris and Collins’ nightclub act, there’s enough flash and excitement that the lack of substance is not readily apparent. There’s lots of crying, yelling, strange behavior, and kinky sex (a personal favorite for weirdness is the drugged-out scene...
