WASHINGTON, D.C.: Chastened by the convictions this week of Jim and Susan McDougal, the White House has decided to give a little ground in another scandal percolating in Washington. Facing a contempt-of-Congress vote against three current and former White House aides, the Administration provided the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee with more than 1,000 pages of documents related to the firing of seven travel-office employees early in 1993. The Administration also provided a list of 2,000 pages it is still withholding, citing executive privilege, a clause most often invoked on matters of national security...

...CABLE GUY (June 14). Then again, the $20 million that Columbia paid Jim Carrey to appear in this comedy of obsession looks like the summer's canniest investment. With loose-dentured diction and bodice-ripping devotion, he leeches onto mild-mannered Matthew Broderick. Only a genius of goonery, an Ace Caricatura like Carrey, could play an egregious pest and make him appealing--at least for the 2 min. 25 sec. of the trailer...
