...WHITE HOUSE LOGS (2/27/01 [a.m.]): Unidentified sources say White House logs list last-minute visits by key Pardongate figures Denise Rich and Beth Dozoretz.

But none of these atrocities is more disquieting than that moment at the carousel--the first-ever physical contact between a cannibal of genius...

This time she's Mary Fiore, a superefficient bridal manager who, minutes before the ceremony, can locate and subdue an absent father of the bride ("the FOB is MIA") but can't find a man for herself. Enter prince charming: Dr. Steve (Matthew McConaughey), who's handsome, funny and loves kids; he runs a local children's hospital. This being San Francisco, Steve must be gay, right? No, he's engaged--to a rich woman (Bridgette Wilson...
...Fob James was defeated in the 1998 gubernatorial elections. But his legacy is a state of delay. Only a third of Alabama's 67 counties have yet fully converted to the new systems mandated by the court order...
