...historians are fairly well-agreed that Chris O'Donnell is not Ernest Hemingway. "In Love and War" has arrived, for better or worse, as an acceptable romance story, set against a beautifully done backdrop of a world war. But notably absent from this picture is any bona fide sense of Hemingway, as O'Donnell and Sandra Bullock with somewhat disturbing success dilute and plain-vanilla the story into submission...
...tone or substance of the talk. That, says psychologist Andrew Hacker, author of Two Nations: Black and White, Separate, Hostile, Unequal, is typical behavior among bigots who have no fear that their outrageous conduct will ever be known to the world outside their racist cocoon. "As a bona fide member of the Caucasian club, I can tell you that people talk this way only when they feel very, very sure of their company," says Hacker.

...fumbles and foibles, Perot has made a mark on the political landscape. Against steep odds he created a bona fide third party whose presidential candidate in the year 2000 will qualify for taxpayer funding.

...that is now TV's No. 1 show. It was Littlefield who found himself "laughing out loud" at a quirky comedy pilot called Third Rock from the Sun that was first brought to ABC; he put it on NBC in January and got credit for discovering the only bona fide new hit of the season. And it was Littlefield who took a big risk last season by moving Frasier, a hit on Thursday night, to Tuesday opposite ABC's powerhouse Home Improvement. Frasier is now in the Top 10, and NBC has taken control of another night. "Without the Frasier...
