...what they did but their similarly flawed responses to the charges against them. Clinton's seemingly false statement in a sworn deposition that he did not have sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky seemed to his critics to show contempt for the judicial process--and it now lies at the heart of his impeachment trial. The government's case against Microsoft has, in much the same way, found its greatest traction not from testimony about Gates' business practices but from excerpts of his own videotaped deposition in which he claimed not to recall key meetings and e-mails sent under...
...razzle-dazzler has done it again--posthumously. Eleven years after he dropped dead of a heart attack at 60, Bob Fosse has two shows running side by side on Broadway. Fosse, a retrospective of dances from such musicals as Sweet Charity, Damn Yankees and The Pajama Game, opened last week right next door to the long-running revival of Chicago, the 1975 show that sealed Fosse's reputation as the most gifted musical-comedy director of his generation. Not bad for a self-doubting perfectionist who, even though he was the only person ever to win an Oscar, a Tony...
Fosse is not completely without heart; Mr. Bojangles, in which Sergio Trujillo gracefully portrays an aged, down-at-heels dancer, is genuinely moving.

But two-thirds of breast-cancer patients die of something else. In fact, heart disease is by far the biggest killer of women in the U.S., followed by lung cancer...
...most people's lives, high drama is not an asteroid heading for Earth or a battle on Omaha Beach. It is the agony and suspense in an intimate conversation. Do you love me? Have you betrayed me? Will you leave me? The answers to those questions make the heart soar or sink; they leave lasting marks on the soul, like a trophy or a gravestone. Years later, we look back and think: from that moment, everything was different. Yet movies rarely touch on this form of domestic convulsion. They offer escapism--not just from daily drudgery but from our most...
