...Monica Effect helps explain why Clinton made nary a peep while the Senate slowly strangled campaign-finance reform--a legacy item if ever there was one--and why he sat idly in June as Senator John McCain's tobacco bill went down. Tobacco was Clinton's top domestic item for 1998--not just because he wanted to be the first President to face down the industry but also because the estimated $100 billion that was to come from McCain's bill in the next five years would have paid for many of Clinton's other ideas, such as preretirement Medicare...

The verdict had nothing to do with Warner's "reneging on a deal to remake Pinocchio." There was never any such "deal." Warner was held liable for intentionally interfering with Mr. Coppola's efforts to make Pinocchio for a different studio (Columbia Pictures). In addition, you ignored the foreign grosses and income for Mr. Coppola's films, which would more than double the figures you quoted...
