...line offering Quentin Tarantino's dad for an interview. He had even interviewed the father of the former wunderkind director in the hopes it would earn him brownie points on the next star. But alas, David Hasselhoff swept right by him. Perhaps it was because the "Baywatch" star hadn't recognized the colors of the Hasselhoff clan on the kilt...
...letters he is to deliver: the whispers of love, lust, fear in a closed society; loneliness begging for another voice to answer, in harmony or dissonance. The voice is the postman's, once he takes the next step and writes responses as if he were the people who hadn't answered these pleas for a little human contact.

Just as unexpected was what did happen - something the Senate hasn't seen much of on any issue: a substantive, thoughtful and generally amicable debate. The kind the framers intended...
