...Joe will not be pleasantly surprised. To protect himself and the process, he'll be grilled, chased and pretty much treated like another Joseph, in Kafka's The Trial (original German title: Der Prozess). But don't let the pedigree fool you. The Spanish Prisoner is exemplary entertainment. Come expecting a dour jeremiad on man's corruptibility--or even a slice-of-lice drama like Mamet's American Buffalo or Glengarry Glen Ross--and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association last October, unintentional deaths dropped 23% among children younger than 15 years old in the years covered by CAP laws...
...happy he no longer has the Paula Jones case to contend with. As a person, he's irked that her claims of harassment were never aired before a jury. In an exclusive interview with TIME managing editor Walter Isaacson, Clinton said: "If I were just a private citizen, Joe Six-pack, I would have mixed feelings about not getting a chance to disprove these allegations in court...
