...Best Movie Star, we tried to explore how a performer can transcend her roles and exert such a powerful appeal to audiences that tens of millions are as moved by what happens to her off the screen as on. In an age saturated with celebrities, where a White House intern not only becomes world famous but whose emotional life is laid out for all to see, Julia Roberts still manages to connect with moviegoers in ways that few other actors have. Possessing so much information about her, and especially about her blithe but wayward romances, audiences feel they know...
...game is power, with sex as an amateurish sideline. The high school game also is about power, which expresses itself in coteries, and in sometimes savage rituals of bullying. Sex in Washington, in any case, has an adolescent, high school quality: the Big-Man-on-Campus-Hits-on-Intern motif, the stolen feels in the White House, as if the Oval Office were the front seat of Dad's borrowed Grand Marquis...

Last Thursday night, more than a month after the intern named Chandra Levy vanished from Washington, California Representative Gary Condit traveled to the Jefferson Hotel (yep, Dick Morris slept there) to meet with Levy's parents and their attorney, Billy Martin (yep, he represented Monica Lewinsky's mother). The meeting lasted about 20 minutes and did not include Dr. Robert Levy. Dazed during an earlier meeting with the D.C. Police and a tour of its "Synchronized Operations Command Center," where tips are processed, the doctor couldn't face the Congressman who had called his daughter a "good friend," then...
...Like would-be starlets in Hollywood, interns come to Washington with big dreams and a hunger to be noticed. Monica's neediness and naivete weren't an aberration. As Clinton was, Condit could be a politician capable of surviving the infatuation of an intern getting out of hand--if that's what happened. Condit is a retail guy in his home district, so sensitive to his constituents' needs that he helps them find apartments in D.C. Unable to say no, he had as many as 10 interns on staff one summer. A workhorse on the Agriculture Committee, he serves...
