...Meanwhile, Newsweek reports that a 47-year-old New York businesswoman will testify to a physical relationship between the intern and the President. Dale Young, an alleged Lewinsky confidante reportedly told the magazine that Lewinsky had claimed she and the President had engaged in foreplay, but that "nothing was ever taken to conclusion." Adding new detail to the coy speculation over the latitude of definitions involved in the President's denial of the relationship, Young was quoted as saying, "He felt it wasn't really oral sex if it wasn't completed...
Loyola psychiatrist Renshaw offers the instructive example of a couple who came to see her the day after the man had taken Viagra for the first time: "They went to bed to wait for something to happen and fell asleep while they were waiting. They forgot to have foreplay. They expected an instant erection."

When one donor makes the mistake of attempting to present checks in the White House, Democratic National Committee chairman Donald Fowler refuses them while Clinton adroitly chats away with someone else...
...form new sexual partnerships, the hostess presents them with the bowl and says, with a devilish smile, "new this year!" It's too new for the Hoods, who don't quite know how to handle free love. Meanwhile, precocious Wendy Hood insists on wearing a Richard Nixon mask during foreplay with Mikey Carver (Elijah Wood). These details, however uncomfortably amusing, put the very local action of the film into a larger context. If the film's goal is to get at the depressing root behind all the ridiculous muck that clutters up their lives, then it is an unqualified success...
