Although he doesn't particularly enjoy acting, Lee says, he stars in his pictures because he knows it will draw moviegoers. Even his appearance...
Pierce told the subcommittee last month he had no direct role in funding decisions in the Section 8 or any other program. Since then, however, the Wall Street Journal has reported that Pierce intervened on behalf of several associates, including a former law partner. Subcommittee members have told Pierce, who has moved back to Manhattan to resume his law and business dealings, that they want to question him again...
