...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...
...accustomed to audience renditions of Time Warp in the aisles and shouts of obscenities. In that case, this production is much like a cover version of a familiar song. To be more than a tired mimic of a classic, the campus production could have incorporated more unique elements.

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

...eating and becomes the sound of a vampire feeding. The vampire is in a horror movie directed by the main character of the segment, who sets the movie in an apartment that looks just like his house. This and other bits of meta trickery lend a self-mocking element to the short, but it becomes horrific when a disgruntled extra imprisons the director, ties up his wife just out of reach, and threatens to cut off one of her fingers every five minutes unless the director strangles a child...
