WASHINGTON: There will be no heartfelt confession beamed to every television in the land. That was the signal emanating strongly from the White House late Monday, as aides made a concerted effort to quash the near-universal clamor for President Clinton to address the nation on the subject of Monica Lewinsky. Anonymous senior staffers started popping up all over the media, insisting there was no mea culpa in the works -- before or after his August 17 deposition. "Nobody is sitting around here going through his deposition (from the Paula Jones case) and saying, 'We can shave here...
...filmmakers from 20 tribes. "It's not just coming from the Indian community either. Everyone knows that what Hollywood's given us in the past has been pure fiction." Already this year, two other full-length independent features are making the festival circuit looking for exposure--Naturally Native, a heartfelt drama written and co-directed by Valerie Red-Horse, is about sisters trying to launch a cosmetics line; and Ian Skorodin's politically oriented Tushka is based on the FBI's efforts to neutralize Indian radicals during the 1970s...
...does all this equal a company in trouble? Burke, who left after 12 productive years at the company (he is credited with turning around the troubled Euro Disney park in France), offers up some heartfelt pro-Eisner spin.

...Most Wanted (Viking; 407 pages; $24.95) and Lamb's I Know This Much Is True (HarperCollins; 901 pages; $27.50) are unlikely to attain the publicity and sales heights of their predecessors--what could? But readers looking for the qualities Winfrey and her viewers seem to love best--accessible, heartfelt, family-oriented fiction that's easy on the brain--will not be disappointed...
RIDE OUT BOY AND SEND IT SOLID. FROM THE GREASY POLACK YOU WILL SOMEDAY ARRIVE AT THE GLOOMY DANE. Tennessee Williams' heartfelt (if politically incorrect) telegram to Marlon Brando, on the opening night of A Streetcar Named Desire 51 years ago, got it right and got it wrong. The young actor, in his first starring role, sent it solid all right--sent it immortally. His performance as Stanley Kowalski, later repeated on film, provided one of our age's emblematic images, the defining portrait of mass man--shrewd, vulgar, ignorant, a rapacious threat to all that is gentle and civilized...
